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.

Nora Roberts
The man was useless as tits on a bull, but he didn't deserve to die like that.
Nora Roberts
You love tests? Well, yeah. There are questions and answers. True or false, multiple choice, essay. What's not to love?
Nora Roberts
Every writer needs an editor. I don't care how good you are or think you are.
Nora Roberts
I don't believe for one moment you can write well what you wouldn't read for pleasure.
Nora Roberts
Put all your eggs in one basket... the handle's going to break. Then all you've got is scrambled eggs.
Nora Roberts
That's possible to likely. We're involved, you and me. I'm telling you what I'm going to do because I figure when people are involved, when they matter, they tell each other.
Nora Roberts
Aren't most romance heros, or heros in fiction of any kind, generally superior to real men? Same goes for heroines and real women.
Nora Roberts
You know, lieutenant, you wear your weapon the way other women wear pearls. It's not a fashion accessory.
Nora Roberts
It shouldn't make you sad to know you're loved, Grayson. But it did. It made him sad, and panicked, and for just a moment, wishful.
Nora Roberts
