More quotes by Nora Roberts
I wonder if you can understand, I never really knew what it was to want, until you.
Nora Roberts
A relationship isn't something that has to be created in a day or perfected in a day. Part of the game is to keep working on it. It's something that'll always be just a little flawed.
Nora Roberts
Have McNab take the edge if you need one. Can he handle bad cop? He does it really well during personal role-playing games when I'm the reluctant witness.
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
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
...If I don't have twenty or thirty books right here, waiting to be read, I start jonesing. That's my compulsion.
Nora Roberts
You don't find time to write. You make time. It's my job.
Nora Roberts
To fate and the strange way that it twists us all together.
Nora Roberts
You bring the color and the life. It's a lucky man who is offered that color and life, and a wise one who values it.
Nora Roberts
Life has very little even ground.
Nora Roberts
If you do not step forward you will always remain where you are.
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
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
There's an oatmeal cookie in there. I see no reason for the existence of oatmeal, particularly in cookies.
Nora Roberts
Courage comes in different forms. There's strength--that's the muscle. But love's the heart. When you put them together, you can do anything.
Nora Roberts
I hope that's true, because I figured out why I'd never finished it, what I was waiting for. I was waiting for you, Clare. For them. For us. I want to finish it up for you, for them, for us.
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
Some things in life are out of your control. You can make it a party or a tragedy.
Nora Roberts
Knowledge is a great gift, and the thirst to seek it even greater. Use what you know...Head and heart...You are not made to give greater weight to one than the other.
Nora Roberts
I said, you're the beat of my heart, the breath in my body, the light in my soul.
Nora Roberts
