More quotes by Nora Roberts
I wonder if you can understand, I never really knew what it was to want, until you.
Nora Roberts
Oh, God. God, isn't that perfect? He's Dad. He's Dad with a layer of nerd. Solid, steady, chipping away so patiently, you don't even know you've had your shields hacked down until you're defenseless. It's the type. You're not in love with a type, you're in love with a man, Penny corrected. Or you're not.
Nora Roberts
There's an oatmeal cookie in there. I see no reason for the existence of oatmeal, particularly in cookies.
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!
Nora Roberts
I loved the process of writing.
Nora Roberts
Retirement wasn't a reward at the end of a well-run career ... it was a void surrounded by endless dull hours, haunted by memories of work.

Nora Roberts
What time is it in New York? He shook his head. An hour later than it is here. The earth simply has to revolve, Eve, however annoying it is for you. It can revolve all it wants. I just don't see why people can't settle on the same time.
Nora Roberts
He looked around when he heard a window-rattling roar. Earthquake? Volcano? Nuclear war? Beaver, Peter told him. I don't care if it is Alaska, you don't have beavers big enough to sound like that.
Nora Roberts
Fine, you do that, and you tell them that at the very first opportunity, I'm coming down there and killing all of them. Mass murder. And after they're all dead, I'm going to kick the bodies around, dance on top of them, and sing a happy song. No jury will convict me.
Nora Roberts
I don't let myself believe in writer's block. I feel very strongly writing is habit as much as an art or a craft. And if you write crap, you're still writing.
Nora Roberts
I don't fiddle or edit or change while I'm going through that first draft.
Nora Roberts
Pretending the past doesn't exist is as bad as living in it.
Nora Roberts
I hate patience. Slows everything down.
Nora Roberts
I need to write to be happy.
Nora Roberts
We all look. The lucky find.
Nora Roberts
know what you want, work to get it, then value it once you have it.
Nora Roberts
Do you know what I feel about you, Devin? About us?...Dazzled, you dazzle me. You make me feel things, and want things I never knew I could have. -Cassie
Nora Roberts
If you write in category, you write knowing there's a framework, there are reader expectations.
Nora Roberts
What about your crepe? Stuff It. She's crazy about you, Mavis commented. It's almost embarrassing, the way she fawns.
