More quotes by Nora Roberts
I don't like the idea of you shivering unless I cause it. Stay warm. ----Roarke, Naked In Death
Nora Roberts
Even a good place gets to be a rut, especially if you're standing in it alone... Alone and lonely have the same root.
Nora Roberts
I’ve never been the one. Not for anybody.” He closed the distance between them. “You’ll get used to it.” He tipped her face up to his, kissed her. “Why? Why am I the one?” “Because my life opened up, and it flooded with color when you walked back into it.
Nora Roberts
My mother says happy ever after's a bunch of bull.
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
Dinner's in one hour. If you're not back, sitting at the table, I'll beat you all unconscious with a spatula.
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
Oh thank you, Jesus. It's Roarke. He tapped a finger on Eve's head. You really shouldn't forget your own husband's name.
Nora Roberts
Put all your eggs in one basket... the handle's going to break. Then all you've got is scrambled eggs.
Nora Roberts
A good story's like a door, and you can go through it whenever you need to. After you've read it or seen it or heard it, you can still go back through it. Once it's yours, it's always yours.
Nora Roberts
A writer never finds the time to write. A writer makes it. If you don't have the drive, the discipline, and the desire, then you can have all the talent in the world, and you aren't going to finish a book.
Nora Roberts
Do little pink fairies sing and dance in your world, Peabody? Sometimes, when it's very quiet and no one else can see.
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
My fondest wish, I suppose, would be to die at the keyboard right after finishing a book, perhaps with a little time off to have some really good sex. It's not, 'Oh, thank God, this is book No. 250. I can die now.'
Nora Roberts
Bite me. -Lieutenant Eve Dallas, from any of the In Death books.
Nora Roberts
There it was, Eve supposed. There was the answer to why people got tangled up with people. Because when you were down, when you were wallowing, someone you mattered to would ask if you were okay.
Nora Roberts
If love doesn't make a fool of us, what will?
Nora Roberts
She raised her eyes to his. They had both come from misery, she thought, and survived it. They had been drawn together through violence and tragedy, and had overcome it. They walked different paths and had found a mutual route. Some things last, she thought. Some ordinary things. Like love.
Nora Roberts
And yet, anything real, anything strong, was never easy. She'd been taught from an early age that the things that mattered most were the hardest to obtain.
Nora Roberts
