It does not make you less of a woman to need a man. To need one to exist, yes, this is nonsense. To need one to give one scope and importance, this is dishonest. But to need a man, one man, to bring joy and passion? This is life

More quotes by Nora Roberts
Love meant different things to different people.
Nora Roberts
I hope that's true, because I figured out why I'd never finished it, what I was waiting for. I was waiting for you, Clare. For them. For us. I want to finish it up for you, for them, for us.
Nora Roberts
My fondest wish, I suppose, would be to die at the keyboard right after finishing a book, perhaps with a little time off to have some really good sex. It's not, 'Oh, thank God, this is book No. 250. I can die now.'
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
Three weeks hadn't changed Cop Central. The coffee was still poisonous, the noise abominable, and the view out of her stingy window was still miserable. She was thrilled to be back.
Nora Roberts
What's your status? she asked him. Healthy, wealthy, and wise. What's yours? Ha. Mean, crafty, and rude.
Nora Roberts
You--Roarke. Eyes watering, she reached for more tissue. Jesus, Eve. Jesus Christ, you never sleep with anybody. And you're telling me you slept with Roarke? That's not precisely accurate. We didn't sleep.
Nora Roberts
Peabody, you never cease to amaze me. One day I'll tell you about my granny and her five lovers. Five lovers isn't abnormal for a woman's lifetime. Not in her lifetime last month. All at the same time. Peabody glanced up, deadpan. She's ninety-eight. I hope to take after her.
Nora Roberts
Love without trust? It's not love at all.
Nora Roberts
When the going gets tough, the tough eat ribs.
Nora Roberts
Life is like a moustache. It can be wonderful or terrible. But it always tickles.
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
Bite me. -Lieutenant Eve Dallas, from any of the In Death books.
Nora Roberts
How's it going down there? It's weird. They're too polite, they talk funny, and stuff has too much shine on it. But the coffee's worse than Central's, so that's something.
Nora Roberts
Maybe you could casually mention to Zoe that I'm not now, nor have I ever been, an axe murderer. I'll see if I can work it into our next conversation, Flynn promised.
Nora Roberts
Men shake hands after they beat each other up we eat chocolate.
Nora Roberts
I don't like the idea of you shivering unless I cause it. Stay warm. ----Roarke, Naked In Death
Nora Roberts
You want safe? Find a nice puppy you can train to come heel. Love's supposed to be scary. Because if there's no fear, there's no thrill.
Nora Roberts
If that isn't typical male stupidity! If something doesn't work, kick it or swear at it!
Nora Roberts
Dinner's in one hour. If you're not back, sitting at the table, I'll beat you all unconscious with a spatula.
