More quotes by 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'm still picking pockets--I just do it as legally as I can. Being married to a cop limits certain activities.
Nora Roberts
Three weeks hadn't changed Cop Central. The coffee was still poisonous, the noise abominable, and the view out of her stingy window was still miserable. She was thrilled to be back.
Nora Roberts
You know, lieutenant, you wear your weapon the way other women wear pearls. It's not a fashion accessory.
Nora Roberts
Good fiction creates its own reality.
Nora Roberts
She surrounded herself with books at work and at home. Her living space was a testament to her first and abiding love with shelves jammed with books tables crowded with them. She saw them not only as knowledge entertainment comfort even sanity but as a kind of artful decoration.
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 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.
Nora Roberts
You have to trust or you're only living half a life.
Nora Roberts
When you reach for the stars, you lose blood and tears. That's something you should remember.
Nora Roberts
Broken hearts healed. Maybe the cracks were always there, like thin scars, but they healed. People lived and worked, laughed and ate, walked and talked with those cracks For many, even the scars healed and they loved again.
Nora Roberts
Why couldn't she have this, just enjoy this, without creating obstacles, digging up problems, worrying about mistakes, about tomorrow's? Why let the maybe's, the what if's, the probabilities spoil something so lovely?
Nora Roberts
And yet, anything real, anything strong, was never easy. She'd been taught from an early age that the things that mattered most were the hardest to obtain.
Nora Roberts
Sometimes a wind comes up, blows you off course. You’re not ready for it, but if you’re lucky, you end up in a more interesting place than you’d planned.
Nora Roberts
One of my greatest pleasures is falling into a story someone else has written.
Nora Roberts
What is technology? Cian pulled his brother inside, pushed the button for the next floor. It's another god.
Nora Roberts
He won't be one of those girlishly pretty men with curly gold hair...He'll be dark, dangerous, too. Brave, certainly, but not without flaws. I like my heroes human.
Nora Roberts
I said, you're the beat of my heart, the breath in my body, the light in my soul.
Nora Roberts
Make a life with me, one that comes from love, one that I can watch grow in you. Only a fool would believe that what comes from what we have together would be anything but beautiful.
Nora Roberts
Courage comes in different forms. There's strength--that's the muscle. But love's the heart. When you put them together, you can do anything.
Nora Roberts
