More quotes by Nora Roberts
Love is not enough. But, it is the rock on which all else stands.
Nora Roberts
love wasn't the soft, silky words the poets spoke of. Love,with it's twin edges, was the one factor that weakened so many women, that pushed them to compromised their own wants, their own needs for the needs and wants of another.
Nora Roberts
Retirement wasn't a reward at the end of a well-run career ... it was a void surrounded by endless dull hours, haunted by memories of work.
Nora Roberts
There are no dead ends, just detours.
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
People who say not to speak ill of the dead are hypocrites, because you can take it ot the bank they're thinking ill.
Nora Roberts
If you write in category, you write knowing there's a framework, there are reader expectations.
Nora Roberts
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
Nora Roberts
squats are a form of torture designed by people who don’t need to do squats in the first place
Nora Roberts
No second chance? A wry smile twisted Carrick's lips. There might have been, had I not waited so long to take it.
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
I got you a present. Did you? It's a book of poetry--romancy stuff. I thought, 'How schmaltzy is that,' so it seemed like the thing. Then I screwed up and left it in my desk at work
Nora Roberts
Life--you have to live it as it comes.
Nora Roberts
You're going to blow his socks off!
Nora Roberts
I loved the process of writing.
Nora Roberts
It's about us. It's about trust.
Nora Roberts
Two women can't share a house comfortably, no matter how fond they might be of each other. It's got to be one woman's kitchen.
Nora Roberts
The most important aspect of any story, to me, is character.
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
I don't base any character on a real person, and really don't do composites either. I make them up.
Nora Roberts
