More quotes by Nora Roberts
Anyone that has character leaves a mark on another. Would you like to leave the world without making a ripple?
Nora Roberts
It's not an exaggeration to say that they saved my life. Ray Quinn, then Cam and Ethan and Phil. They turned their world around for me, and because of it, turned mine around with it.

Nora Roberts
Why don't you put your ego down for a while, Justin. It must be getting heavy.
Nora Roberts
I need to write to be happy.
Nora Roberts
Eve engaged her On Duty sign and stepped out of the car. Immediately her ears were assaulted with a blast of music. Christmas carols pumped, full blast, into the air. She decided that people ran inside, ready to buy anything, just to escape the noise.
Nora Roberts
So does that mean you're going to fall in love with me again? What makes you think i ever stopped?
Nora Roberts
Mary Stewart will always be my goddess. I can pick up one of her early books - one I've read a dozen times - and still slide right into the story.
Nora Roberts
- How is he in bed? Gladiator or poet? - Hmmm... A poetic gladiator.
Nora Roberts
You know, lieutenant, you wear your weapon the way other women wear pearls. It's not a fashion accessory.
Nora Roberts
Some romantic you are, Caine complained as he pushed the door open with his back.Whatever happened to women who liked to be swept off their feet? They got dropped, Diana said flatly.
Nora Roberts
I decided to write category romance as I'd recently discovered them, and enjoyed them.
Nora Roberts
She wants to learn how to handle a gun. Well, I want George Clooney naked in my bed, but I haven't attempted kidnapping. Yet.
