If that isn't typical male stupidity! If something doesn't work, kick it or swear at it!

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 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
Couples take care of each other, Clare, that's what makes them a couple. And couples tell each other when something happens that scares them.
Nora Roberts
I think sometimes fate cuts you a break. Like it says, okay, you've had enough of that crap, so it's time you fell into something nice. See what you make out of it.
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
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
What kind of a maniac needed over five thousand plates?
Nora Roberts
I hate patience. Slows everything down.
Nora Roberts
My mother says happy ever after's a bunch of bull.
Nora Roberts
Action, reaction, motivation, emotion, all have to come from the characters. Writing a love scene requires the same elements from the writer as any other.
Nora Roberts
The state calls Paul Winthrop to the stand. ... Paul answered the opening questions briefly, weighing his words, his eyes on Julia's. Would you tell the court the nature of your relationship with Miss Summers? I'm in love with Miss Summers. The faintest of smiles touched his lips. Completely in love with Miss Summers.
Nora Roberts
When you reach for the stars, you lose blood and tears. That's something you should remember.
Nora Roberts
He shook his head and eyed Roarke. You don't look like a cop. I'm not and thank you for noticing.
Nora Roberts
Put all your eggs in one basket... the handle's going to break. Then all you've got is scrambled eggs.
