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
He looked around when he heard a window-rattling roar. Earthquake? Volcano? Nuclear war? Beaver, Peter told him. I don't care if it is Alaska, you don't have beavers big enough to sound like that.

You can't edit a blank page
Nora Roberts
Life--you have to live it as it comes.
Nora Roberts
I think writer is a word without gender, and a good writer observes, absorbs, hopefully empathizes then translates that into character and story. You don’t have to do or be or have experienced, traveled to, but you have to imagine all of that, very well–and believe it completely during the bubble of the work.
Nora Roberts
The most important aspect of any story, to me, is character.

Nora Roberts
Nothing worthwhile is ever without complications.
Nora Roberts
I'm a barrel of monkeys, kid, though mostly I figure monkeys stuck in a barrel are just going to be pissed off.
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
There are no dead ends, just detours.
Nora Roberts
But when two people feel something, they ought to respect that enough to figure it out
Nora Roberts
Grudges are bridges with faulty spans. Falling off one is a lot more rewarding than getting stuck on the other side.
Nora Roberts
What kind of a maniac needed over five thousand plates?
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
You love tests? Well, yeah. There are questions and answers. True or false, multiple choice, essay. What's not to love?
Nora Roberts
Roarke, what's going on here?' 'Lieutenant.' He leaned forward, touched his lips to hers. 'Indications are we're having a romance.
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.
