More quotes by Nora Roberts
Earrings are like orgasms. You can never have too many. I never thought about it quite that way. Well, you're a man. She gave his knee a friendly pat.
Nora Roberts
Fine, you do that, and you tell them that at the very first opportunity, I'm coming down there and killing all of them. Mass murder. And after they're all dead, I'm going to kick the bodies around, dance on top of them, and sing a happy song. No jury will convict me.
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
[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
The worst, the very worst requirement of friendship, in Eve Dallas's opinion, was sitting through an entire evening of childbirth classes. What went on there--the sights, the sounds, the assault on all the senses--turned the blood cold.
Nora Roberts
he wouldn't mention, now or then, the illegal nine-millimeter automatic he had in his pocket. Why distress the woman you loved with minor details?
Nora Roberts
Why couldn't the merciful God turn down the sunlight so it wasn't blasting like a red furnace against his aching eyes? Because he'd worshipped the god of beer, thats why. He'd broken a commandment and worshipped the false and foamy god of beer. And now he was being punished.
Nora Roberts
Planting a flower's like opening a book, because either way you're starting something. And your garden's your library.
Nora Roberts
I've wanted to be with you when I didn't have the right to.
Nora Roberts
Niall: We're tossed by the winds of fate. Once we end where they blow us, we make of ourselves that we will.
Nora Roberts
Why don't you put your ego down for a while, Justin. It must be getting heavy.
Nora Roberts
Roarke, what's going on here?' 'Lieutenant.' He leaned forward, touched his lips to hers. 'Indications are we're having a romance.
Nora Roberts
It's more than you think it can be, she heard herself say. It changes everything, and fixes everything that matters. Maybe you're never going to be the same, and maybe part of you is always afraid of what will happen if...but he's always going to be there. All you have to do is reach out, and he's going to be there.
Nora Roberts
Love without trust? It's not love at all.
Nora Roberts
And you're not going to tell me she didn't make a move on you. At least test the waters. The waters, he said, were not receptive. If they had been, I'd have drowned her in them already.
Nora Roberts
He won't be one of those girlishly pretty men with curly gold hair...He'll be dark, dangerous, too. Brave, certainly, but not without flaws. I like my heroes human.
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
I don't let myself believe in writer's block. I feel very strongly writing is habit as much as an art or a craft. And if you write crap, you're still writing.
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
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
