I hate patience. Slows everything down.
Nora Roberts
Happily ever after? If justice doesn't triumph and love doesn't make the circle in entertainment fiction, what's the point? Real life sucks too often.
Nora Roberts
You all right? Diana let out a deep breath. Ask me again when I'm not praying.
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
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
But Roarke doesn't feel weird about it. He's full of it, the love, I mean. And when he loves me, things that never worked in me did - do. It was easier when they didn't work, but it's better when they do. You know?
Nora Roberts
Men are boys in bigger packages.

The state calls Paul Winthrop to the stand. ... Paul answered the opening questions briefly, weighing his words, his eyes on Julia's. Would you tell the court the nature of your relationship with Miss Summers? I'm in love with Miss Summers. The faintest of smiles touched his lips. Completely in love with Miss Summers.
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 decided to write category romance as I'd recently discovered them, and enjoyed them.
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
Marry me, Rebecca...You might as well say yes. I'll just talk you into it.
Nora Roberts
...She'd gone past interest, swung into attraction, burst through lust, tripped over affection, and was now skidding out of control into love.
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
Women are the worst. They zero in on some guy.Oh boy, he's the one, gotta get me that one. So they do. Then they spend the rest of their time trying to figure out how to change him. Then if they manage it, they're not all that interested anymore, because guess what? He's not the one anymore.
Nora Roberts
Luck is luck ... What we do with it determines whether it's good or bad.
Nora Roberts
Roarke: You'd enjoy flying more if you'd learn the controls. Eve: I'd rather pretend I'm on the ground. Roarke: And how many vehicles have you wrecked, had blown up, or destroyed in the last, oh, two years? Eve: Think about that, then imagine it happening when I'm at the wheel at thirty thousand feet. Roarke: Good point. I'll do the flying.
Nora Roberts
There was nothing like a Saturday - unless it was the Saturday leading up to the last week of school and into summer vacation. That of course was all the Saturdays of your life rolled into one big shiny ball.
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 need to write to be happy.
Nora Roberts
