More quotes by Nora Roberts
It does not make you less of a woman to need a man. To need one to exist, yes, this is nonsense. To need one to give one scope and importance, this is dishonest. But to need a man, one man, to bring joy and passion? This is life
Nora Roberts
I don't kick a man when he's down, unless I'm the one who put him down in the first place. I don't put him down unless he deserves it. And I don't break my word if I give it. So I'll give you my word.
Nora Roberts
I think things happen between people for a reason.
Nora Roberts
You have to believe in it to get it.
Nora Roberts
Action, reaction, motivation, emotion, all have to come from the characters. Writing a love scene requires the same elements from the writer as any other.
Nora Roberts
Marry me, Rebecca...You might as well say yes. I'll just talk you into it.
Nora Roberts
She raised her eyes to his. They had both come from misery, she thought, and survived it. They had been drawn together through violence and tragedy, and had overcome it. They walked different paths and had found a mutual route. Some things last, she thought. Some ordinary things. Like love.
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
Eve, I know this continues to astound and baffle you, but I actually like to socialize. I know. If it wasn't for that, you'd be perfect.
Nora Roberts
Make a life with me, one that comes from love, one that I can watch grow in you. Only a fool would believe that what comes from what we have together would be anything but beautiful.
Nora Roberts
Peabody, you never cease to amaze me. One day I'll tell you about my granny and her five lovers. Five lovers isn't abnormal for a woman's lifetime. Not in her lifetime last month. All at the same time. Peabody glanced up, deadpan. She's ninety-eight. I hope to take after her.
Nora Roberts
It doesn't matter, that's the point. It doesn't matter that things don't always work exactly the way you thought they should. Moments matter. People matter, how they feel, how they connect. Who they are alone and together. All that matters, no matter how quickly the moment passes. Maybe because it passes.
Nora Roberts
Even a good place gets to be a rut, especially if you're standing in it alone... Alone and lonely have the same root.
Nora Roberts
That's possible to likely. We're involved, you and me. I'm telling you what I'm going to do because I figure when people are involved, when they matter, they tell each other.
Nora Roberts
He was one of the many toads you have to go through to find the prince.
Nora Roberts
Why couldn't she have this, just enjoy this, without creating obstacles, digging up problems, worrying about mistakes, about tomorrow's? Why let the maybe's, the what if's, the probabilities spoil something so lovely?
Nora Roberts
We all look. The lucky find.
Nora Roberts
Half full, half empty, what the hell difference does it make? If there's something in the damn glass, drink it.
Nora Roberts
I'm still picking pockets--I just do it as legally as I can. Being married to a cop limits certain activities.
Nora Roberts
I don't fiddle or edit or change while I'm going through that first draft.
