More quotes by Nora Roberts
Men didn't respect beauty...they used it.
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
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
Don't worry.... We are right behind you. Notice, Lilah added with a smile, the direction is behind.
Nora Roberts
But Roarke doesn't feel weird about it. He's full of it, the love, I mean. And when he loves me, things that never worked in me did - do. It was easier when they didn't work, but it's better when they do. You know?
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
A woman with romance in her life lived as grandly as a queen, because her heart was treasured.
Nora Roberts
What's your status? she asked him. Healthy, wealthy, and wise. What's yours? Ha. Mean, crafty, and rude.
Nora Roberts
You're the woman in my life,” he said. “Another thing about me and my brothers? We look after the women in our lives. We don't know any other way.
Nora Roberts
She was tough in the best sense of the word. She'd taken blows, the disappointments, and had worked her way through them. Some people, he knew, would have buckled under, found a clutch, or given up. But she had carved a place for herself and made it work.
Nora Roberts
The man was useless as tits on a bull, but he didn't deserve to die like that.
Nora Roberts
You are wise as well as short. I can also break bricks with my bare hands. That's a handy skill if you ever find yourself walled up in the basement of an abandoned house by a psychopath.
Nora Roberts
[As a writer] you have to have the three D's: drive, discipline and desire. If you're missing any one of those three, you can have all the talent in the world, but it's going to be really hard to get anything done.
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
The most important aspect of any story, to me, is character.
Nora Roberts
You don't fix a man the way you do a fault in a pipe or a leak in a roof. You take him as he is, Mary Brenna, or you don't take him at all...adjustments can't be all made on one side, darling, else the balance goes off and what's being built just falls down.
Nora Roberts
Love makes saints or sinners out of men.
Nora Roberts
Why are you always smiling? What do you know?
Nora Roberts
Roarke cares very much for Beth and for me, and a few select others. But loves? I'm not sure he'd let himself risk quite that unstable an emotion.
Nora Roberts
...She'd gone past interest, swung into attraction, burst through lust, tripped over affection, and was now skidding out of control into love.
