More quotes by 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!

You don't need to diet, She-Body. You are a just-right female. McNab? Eve said. Yes, sir. Shut up. It's all right, Dallas. We're a couple. A couple of what? No, don't tell me. Don't talk to me. Don't talk to each other. Let there be silence across the land.

Nora Roberts
Women are the worst. They zero in on some guy.Oh boy, he's the one, gotta get me that one. So they do. Then they spend the rest of their time trying to figure out how to change him. Then if they manage it, they're not all that interested anymore, because guess what? He's not the one anymore.
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
He was one of the many toads you have to go through to find the prince.
Nora Roberts
Even a good place gets to be a rut, especially if you're standing in it alone... Alone and lonely have the same root.
Nora Roberts
He wanted to heave the glasses against the wall. Break them, break everything he could reach. Beat it, rend it. He stared out the window, imagined the city in flames, consumed to ashes. And still it wasn't enough.
Nora Roberts
The most important aspect of any story, to me, is character.
Nora Roberts
A ghra. A amhain. My love. My only.
Nora Roberts
Have McNab take the edge if you need one. Can he handle bad cop? He does it really well during personal role-playing games when I'm the reluctant witness.
Nora Roberts
You are wise as well as short. I can also break bricks with my bare hands. That's a handy skill if you ever find yourself walled up in the basement of an abandoned house by a psychopath.
Nora Roberts
I won't consider getting horizontal with someone I can barely tolerate when we're vertical.
Nora Roberts
There's no reward without work, no victory without effort, no battle won without risk.
Nora Roberts
She was tough in the best sense of the word. She'd taken blows, the disappointments, and had worked her way through them. Some people, he knew, would have buckled under, found a clutch, or given up. But she had carved a place for herself and made it work.
Nora Roberts
Caroline Waverly: Sometimes we hurt more for what might have been than for what is.
Nora Roberts
