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
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
In all the illusions, you're the only truth that I need
Nora Roberts
But Roarke doesn't feel weird about it. He's full of it, the love, I mean. And when he loves me, things that never worked in me did - do. It was easier when they didn't work, but it's better when they do. You know?

Nora Roberts

Nora Roberts
I don't fiddle or edit or change while I'm going through that first draft.
Nora Roberts
Don't worry.... We are right behind you. Notice, Lilah added with a smile, the direction is behind.
Nora Roberts
I'm not putting up with this, she continued. You can't even go out and buy a solar system without worrying I'll fall apart. How are you supposed to get anything done? Actually, I'm not in the market for a solar system right at the moment.
Nora Roberts
It takes a lot of spine and stomach to make yourself into something when no one gives you a foundation.
Nora Roberts
I'm damned if I'm going to be eaten by a bear when I'm naked. I'm sure it's a more pleasant experience dressed.
Nora Roberts
I was educated by the nuns. Guilt and discipline combine those and you'll be pretty productive.
Nora Roberts
Why is it you think you'll live forever and why do you want to, I'd like to know, when you deny yourselves so many of the basic pleasures in life?
Nora Roberts
Did they know - the young and fearless - what a miraculous thing it was to have all of anyone?
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
The most important aspect of any story, to me, is character.
