More quotes by Nora Roberts
You are wise as well as short. I can also break bricks with my bare hands. That's a handy skill if you ever find yourself walled up in the basement of an abandoned house by a psychopath.
Nora Roberts
Love meant different things to different people.
Nora Roberts
Roarke: You'd enjoy flying more if you'd learn the controls. Eve: I'd rather pretend I'm on the ground. Roarke: And how many vehicles have you wrecked, had blown up, or destroyed in the last, oh, two years? Eve: Think about that, then imagine it happening when I'm at the wheel at thirty thousand feet. Roarke: Good point. I'll do the flying.
Nora Roberts
Oh, God. God, isn't that perfect? He's Dad. He's Dad with a layer of nerd. Solid, steady, chipping away so patiently, you don't even know you've had your shields hacked down until you're defenseless. It's the type. You're not in love with a type, you're in love with a man, Penny corrected. Or you're not.
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.
Nora Roberts
You--Roarke. Eyes watering, she reached for more tissue. Jesus, Eve. Jesus Christ, you never sleep with anybody. And you're telling me you slept with Roarke? That's not precisely accurate. We didn't sleep.
Nora Roberts
Pretending the past doesn't exist is as bad as living in it.
Nora Roberts
No. No, I don't believe you'd betray me with her. I don't believe you'd cheat on me. But I'm afraid, and I'm sick in my heart that you might look at her, then at me. And regret.
Nora Roberts
I don't believe for one moment you can write well what you wouldn't read for pleasure.
Nora Roberts
It takes a lot of spine and stomach to make yourself into something when no one gives you a foundation.
Nora Roberts
It doesn't matter how long it takes. She thought of him, of them, the lifetime already shared. It's how long it lasts.
Nora Roberts
There it was, Eve supposed. There was the answer to why people got tangled up with people. Because when you were down, when you were wallowing, someone you mattered to would ask if you were okay.
Nora Roberts
Knowledge is a great gift, and the thirst to seek it even greater. Use what you know...Head and heart...You are not made to give greater weight to one than the other.
Nora Roberts
squats are a form of torture designed by people who don’t need to do squats in the first place
Nora Roberts
The purest magic is in the heart.
Nora Roberts
Two women can't share a house comfortably, no matter how fond they might be of each other. It's got to be one woman's kitchen.
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
I don't think I am a traditional romantic who thinks about candlelight dinners and wonders if my husband is going to bring me flowers, though I'm delighted if he does. I'm more practical-minded. I find it incredibly romantic that my husband does the dishes.
Nora Roberts
I've found out that falling in love doesn't have anything to do with time. It can take a year or an instant. It happens when it's ready to happen.
Nora Roberts
I have to say you don't look anything like a policewoman. Maxia's perfect eyebrows arched as she gave Eve's dress a quick scan. Leonardo dresses you, doesn't he? No, I usually do it myself.
Nora Roberts
