Quotes by Kate Hewitt

“She realised with an intense, wonderful rush that love didn't make you weak. It made you vulnerable, but it also made you strong.”
― Kate Hewitt, The Greek Tycoon's Convenient Bride

“You had the unimaginable luxury of thinking deep thoughts and pursuing endless intellectual conversations, of reveling in simple pleasures with the implicit permission to be totally self-absorbed. Then you grew up, and life hit you in the face with a two-by-four.”
― Kate Hewitt, Redemption Falls

“Time is so strange, how slow it sometimes seems, and then how it speeds up the older you get, until you get really quite old, and then it slows right down again. The trouble is, there’s never enough of it.”
