More quotes by Nora Roberts
Nature will kill you without a minute's thought, and in nastier ways than a crazy guy with agun. It doesn't make her any less beautiful.
Nora Roberts
Luck is luck ... What we do with it determines whether it's good or bad.
Nora Roberts
What time is it in New York? He shook his head. An hour later than it is here. The earth simply has to revolve, Eve, however annoying it is for you. It can revolve all it wants. I just don't see why people can't settle on the same time.
Nora Roberts
I generally write a first draft that's pretty lean. Just get the story down.
Nora Roberts
Fine, you do that, and you tell them that at the very first opportunity, I'm coming down there and killing all of them. Mass murder. And after they're all dead, I'm going to kick the bodies around, dance on top of them, and sing a happy song. No jury will convict me.
Nora Roberts
You have to believe in it to get it.
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
When you reach for the stars, you lose blood and tears. That's something you should remember.
Nora Roberts

Nora Roberts
Every writer has to figure out what works best - and often has to select and discard different tools before they find the one that fits.
Nora Roberts

Nora Roberts
Something your father wouldn't have told you, he began. Taking blood, it leaves a mark on you. No matter how it's done, or how it's justified, it leaves a mark that goes in deep. Be sure you're willing to wear that mark before you take the blood.
Nora Roberts
People who say not to speak ill of the dead are hypocrites, because you can take it ot the bank they're thinking ill.
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 got you a present. Did you? It's a book of poetry--romancy stuff. I thought, 'How schmaltzy is that,' so it seemed like the thing. Then I screwed up and left it in my desk at work
Nora Roberts
Nothing worthwhile is ever without complications.
Nora Roberts
He was one of the many toads you have to go through to find the prince.
Nora Roberts
The worst, the very worst requirement of friendship, in Eve Dallas's opinion, was sitting through an entire evening of childbirth classes. What went on there--the sights, the sounds, the assault on all the senses--turned the blood cold.
Nora Roberts
he wouldn't mention, now or then, the illegal nine-millimeter automatic he had in his pocket. Why distress the woman you loved with minor details?
Nora Roberts
Put all your eggs in one basket... the handle's going to break. Then all you've got is scrambled eggs.
