More quotes by Nora Roberts
The most important aspect of any story, to me, is character.
Nora Roberts
Every writer has to figure out what works best - and often has to select and discard different tools before they find the one that fits.
Nora Roberts
You have to trust or you're only living half a life.
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
I don't believe for one moment you can write well what you wouldn't read for pleasure.
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
I think I've just lost five pounds in fear sweat. Peabody mopped at her face. Now I want a cannoli. I don't know why. With a laugh, Roarke shifted to grin at her. I'll buy you a dozen, precious. Cannolis, for God's sake.
Nora Roberts
Eve: What do you want? Nadine: A man of amazing sexual prowess, great sensitivity, stupendous abs, and the face of an angel. Toss in a wicked sense of humor and stupendous wealth, who adores the very ground I walk on. Oh wait, you already have him.
Nora Roberts
Bite me. -Lieutenant Eve Dallas, from any of the In Death books.
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
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
I think those who have impact and influence over us are often unaware.
Nora Roberts
You don't need to diet, She-Body. You are a just-right female. McNab? Eve said. Yes, sir. Shut up. It's all right, Dallas. We're a couple. A couple of what? No, don't tell me. Don't talk to me. Don't talk to each other. Let there be silence across the land.
Nora Roberts
I'm still picking pockets--I just do it as legally as I can. Being married to a cop limits certain activities.
Nora Roberts
I always thought everybody made up stories in their heads - never thought about actually writing them down on paper until I was snowed in with the kids in the blizzard of '79 - 3 feet of snow. I live in a rural area and was stuck. No morning kindergarten - it was a nightmare.
Nora Roberts
Happy Fuller: Somehow you always love in a special way the one who gives you the most grief.
Nora Roberts
Aren't most romance heros, or heros in fiction of any kind, generally superior to real men? Same goes for heroines and real women.
Nora Roberts
Roarke's brow cocked as he noted Casto take in the black satin that slithered over Eve's body. In the manner of men or unfriendly male dogs, Roarke showed his teeth.
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
I don't think you can write - at least not well - if you don't love stories, love the written word.
Nora Roberts
