More quotes by Nora Roberts
It's not an exaggeration to say that they saved my life. Ray Quinn, then Cam and Ethan and Phil. They turned their world around for me, and because of it, turned mine around with it. Anna and Grace and Sybill, Aubrey too. They made a home for me, and nothing that happened before matters nearly as much as everything that came after.

Nora Roberts
What's your status? she asked him. Healthy, wealthy, and wise. What's yours? Ha. Mean, crafty, and rude.
Nora Roberts
She surrounded herself with books at work and at home. Her living space was a testament to her first and abiding love with shelves jammed with books tables crowded with them. She saw them not only as knowledge entertainment comfort even sanity but as a kind of artful decoration.
Nora Roberts
My boyfriend and I are badasses.
Nora Roberts
If you write in category, you write knowing there's a framework, there are reader expectations.
Nora Roberts
I have to say you don't look anything like a policewoman. Maxia's perfect eyebrows arched as she gave Eve's dress a quick scan. Leonardo dresses you, doesn't he? No, I usually do it myself.
Nora Roberts
Life--you have to live it as it comes.
Nora Roberts
Mary Stewart will always be my goddess. I can pick up one of her early books - one I've read a dozen times - and still slide right into the story.
Nora Roberts
I don't base any character on a real person, and really don't do composites either. I make them up.
