I don't think you can write - at least not well - if you don't love stories, love the written word.
Nora Roberts
If you can't dance on it, it isn't coffee.
Nora Roberts
I don't base any character on a real person, and really don't do composites either. I make them up.
Nora Roberts
I don't want to be expected to fall in passively someone else's plans for me. That's what I don't want. I don't want it assumed that I simply don't have any personal goals or wishes of my own. Or any basic competence of my own. That's what I don't want!
Nora Roberts
You have to trust or you're only living half a life.

Nora Roberts

Nora Roberts
There are no dead ends, just detours.
Nora Roberts
I need to write to be happy.
Nora Roberts
Eve-In the name of all that is holy...It's 2060, not 1760. Can't they figure out a better way to handle this process? Roarke-Amen
Nora Roberts
Sex might satisfy, food might fuel, love might sustain, but without coffee, what is the point?
Nora Roberts
Survivors lived with their mistakes.
Nora Roberts
I loved the process of writing.
Nora Roberts
... a man's plans are meant to be changed for a beautiful woman.
Nora Roberts
Happily ever after? If justice doesn't triumph and love doesn't make the circle in entertainment fiction, what's the point? Real life sucks too often.
Nora Roberts
People tell their children there are no monsters in the world. They tell them that because they believe it, or they want the child to feel safe. But there are monsters, Luke, all the more frightening because they look like people.
Nora Roberts
Life has very little even ground.
Nora Roberts
