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.

More quotes by Nora Roberts
My own sense of family, where I came from and what I made for myself is an important part of my life.
Nora Roberts
Marriage is a land mine. A really intimate land mine. Adultery to kitchen fires. Never a dull [moment].
Nora Roberts
I know you love me, but I don't know why. I look at you and I just can't get why it's me. Every time I get my balance, I lose it again. Because it shouldn't be me, and I think it'd kill me if you ever figured that out.
Nora Roberts
Don't you want me to kiss you goodbye, sweetie? Kiss a cow farm boy
Nora Roberts
Eve engaged her On Duty sign and stepped out of the car. Immediately her ears were assaulted with a blast of music. Christmas carols pumped, full blast, into the air. She decided that people ran inside, ready to buy anything, just to escape the noise.
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
Sex might satisfy, food might fuel, love might sustain, but without coffee, what is the point?
Nora Roberts
Eve, I know this continues to astound and baffle you, but I actually like to socialize. I know. If it wasn't for that, you'd be perfect.
Nora Roberts
I want to keep you, till the end of days.
Nora Roberts
I won't consider getting horizontal with someone I can barely tolerate when we're vertical.
Nora Roberts
Every single book is a challenge.
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
Broken hearts healed. Maybe the cracks were always there, like thin scars, but they healed. People lived and worked, laughed and ate, walked and talked with those cracks For many, even the scars healed and they loved again.
Nora Roberts
If love doesn't make a fool of us, what will?
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
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
I think those who have impact and influence over us are often unaware.
Nora Roberts
Grudges are bridges with faulty spans. Falling off one is a lot more rewarding than getting stuck on the other side.
Nora Roberts
It doesn't matter, that's the point. It doesn't matter that things don't always work exactly the way you thought they should. Moments matter. People matter, how they feel, how they connect. Who they are alone and together. All that matters, no matter how quickly the moment passes. Maybe because it passes.
Nora Roberts
I don't think you can write - at least not well - if you don't love stories, love the written word.
Nora Roberts
