Nora Roberts
How's it going down there? It's weird. They're too polite, they talk funny, and stuff has too much shine on it. But the coffee's worse than Central's, so that's something.
Nora Roberts
Once you considered failure you were one step farther away from success.
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
Into the night, in the dark, he lay beside her, listening to her breathe. He knew the varied and sundry reasons a man would kill. But none were more fierce, none were more vital than to hold safe what he loved.
Nora Roberts
I'd suggest putting your head between your knees, but I think that's physically impossible for you at the moment.
Nora Roberts
Every writer needs an editor. I don't care how good you are or think you are.
Nora Roberts
You know, lieutenant, you wear your weapon the way other women wear pearls. It's not a fashion accessory.
Nora Roberts
My fondest wish, I suppose, would be to die at the keyboard right after finishing a book, perhaps with a little time off to have some really good sex. It's not, 'Oh, thank God, this is book No. 250. I can die now.'
