More quotes by 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
Three weeks hadn't changed Cop Central. The coffee was still poisonous, the noise abominable, and the view out of her stingy window was still miserable. She was thrilled to be back.
Nora Roberts
Life--you have to live it as it comes.
Nora Roberts
He looked around when he heard a window-rattling roar. Earthquake? Volcano? Nuclear war? Beaver, Peter told him. I don't care if it is Alaska, you don't have beavers big enough to sound like that.

Nora Roberts
You want safe? Find a nice puppy you can train to come heel. Love's supposed to be scary. Because if there's no fear, there's no thrill.
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
There's an oatmeal cookie in there. I see no reason for the existence of oatmeal, particularly in cookies.
Nora Roberts
Don't you want me to kiss you goodbye, sweetie? Kiss a cow farm boy
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
If love doesn't make a fool of us, what will?
Nora Roberts
Pretending the past doesn't exist is as bad as living in it.
Nora Roberts
Marriage is a land mine. A really intimate land mine. Adultery to kitchen fires. Never a dull [moment].
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
I generally write a first draft that's pretty lean. Just get the story down.
