More quotes by Nora Roberts

Nora Roberts

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
Action, reaction, motivation, emotion, all have to come from the characters. Writing a love scene requires the same elements from the writer as any other.
Nora Roberts
Okay. Look, why don't you take care of the half a million things you've been letting dangle in Roarke's Empire of Everything? Catchy title. I may use it one day.
Nora Roberts
Certainly the plagiarism, and dealing with the fallout of it, was the most difficult thing I've ever faced since I started writing.
Nora Roberts
I'm damned if I'm going to be eaten by a bear when I'm naked. I'm sure it's a more pleasant experience dressed.
Nora Roberts
Love without trust? It's not love at all.
Nora Roberts
You know, lieutenant, you wear your weapon the way other women wear pearls. It's not a fashion accessory.
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.
