Nora Roberts

Nora Roberts
Did they know - the young and fearless - what a miraculous thing it was to have all of anyone?
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
I generally write a first draft that's pretty lean. Just get the story down.
Nora Roberts
I do indeed write on the road. My laptop goes with me everywhere.
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
There's no reward without work, no victory without effort, no battle won without risk.
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
It doesn't matter, that's the point. It doesn't matter that things don't always work exactly the way you thought they should. Moments matter. People matter, how they feel, how they connect. Who they are alone and together. All that matters, no matter how quickly the moment passes. Maybe because it passes.
Nora Roberts
There it was, Eve supposed. There was the answer to why people got tangled up with people. Because when you were down, when you were wallowing, someone you mattered to would ask if you were okay.
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
A good story's like a door, and you can go through it whenever you need to. After you've read it or seen it or heard it, you can still go back through it. Once it's yours, it's always yours.
Nora Roberts
The man was useless as tits on a bull, but he didn't deserve to die like that.
Nora Roberts
It was a joint, which put it one slippery step up from a dive.
Nora Roberts
Eve, I know this continues to astound and baffle you, but I actually like to socialize. I know. If it wasn't for that, you'd be perfect.
Nora Roberts
Happy Fuller: Somehow you always love in a special way the one who gives you the most grief.
Nora Roberts
Happily ever after? If justice doesn't triumph and love doesn't make the circle in entertainment fiction, what's the point? Real life sucks too often.
Nora Roberts
If you don't read for pleasure, you'll lose your edge as a writer.
Nora Roberts
I always thought everybody made up stories in their heads - never thought about actually writing them down on paper until I was snowed in with the kids in the blizzard of '79 - 3 feet of snow. I live in a rural area and was stuck. No morning kindergarten - it was a nightmare.
