More quotes by Nora Roberts
I always thought everybody made up stories in their heads - never thought about actually writing them down on paper until I was snowed in with the kids in the blizzard of '79 - 3 feet of snow. I live in a rural area and was stuck. No morning kindergarten - it was a nightmare.
Nora Roberts
Every single book is a challenge.
Nora Roberts
No second chance? A wry smile twisted Carrick's lips. There might have been, had I not waited so long to take it.

If you don't read for pleasure, you'll lose your edge as a writer.
Nora Roberts
Heroism's just doing more than you want to do or think you can. Sometimes it's just doing the crappy things, the unhappy things other people won't do....It's not just jumping out of a plane onto a glacier ten thousand feet up because there's nobody else there to do it. It's getting out of bed in the morning when it seems like too much trouble.
Nora Roberts
Didn't people consider what could happen if armies of farm animals united in revolt?
Nora Roberts
We're not blank slates. What we've done, what we've survived all go into us.
Nora Roberts
We all look. The lucky find.
Nora Roberts
I think I've just lost five pounds in fear sweat. Peabody mopped at her face. Now I want a cannoli. I don't know why. With a laugh, Roarke shifted to grin at her. I'll buy you a dozen, precious. Cannolis, for God's sake.
Nora Roberts
Courage comes in different forms. There's strength--that's the muscle. But love's the heart. When you put them together, you can do anything.
Nora Roberts
I don't like the idea of you shivering unless I cause it. Stay warm. ----Roarke, Naked In Death
