Even a good place gets to be a rut, especially if you're standing in it alone... Alone and lonely have the same root.

More quotes by Nora Roberts
I don't think I am a traditional romantic who thinks about candlelight dinners and wonders if my husband is going to bring me flowers, though I'm delighted if he does. I'm more practical-minded. I find it incredibly romantic that my husband does the dishes.
Nora Roberts
Luck is luck ... What we do with it determines whether it's good or bad.
Nora Roberts
I've wanted to be with you when I didn't have the right to.
Nora Roberts
If that isn't typical male stupidity! If something doesn't work, kick it or swear at it!
Nora Roberts
Look, if some guy dressed in his mother's clothes breaks in, fight him off until I get my pants back on.
Nora Roberts
In the summer of 80, Silhouette bought my first book.
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
I want to keep you, till the end of days.
Nora Roberts
Men didn't respect beauty...they used it.
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
Roarke: The bodies of the three men were found floating in the Chattahoochee River. Eve: I think it'd be embarrassing to be dead in the Hoochie-Coochie River. Roarke: Chattahoochee Eve: What's the difference? Roarke: Quite a bit, I'd think.
Nora Roberts
I don't think you can write - at least not well - if you don't love stories, love the written word.
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
I don't kick a man when he's down, unless I'm the one who put him down in the first place. I don't put him down unless he deserves it. And I don't break my word if I give it. So I'll give you my word.
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
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'd suggest putting your head between your knees, but I think that's physically impossible for you at the moment.
Nora Roberts
My apartment's only about a block away. Isn't that handy. Fate, he countered as he took a seat on the sofa and made himself at home. Fantasic, isn't it? One day very soon, I'm going to tell you what you can do with that fate of yours.
Nora Roberts
Didn't people consider what could happen if armies of farm animals united in revolt?
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
