How's it going down there? It's weird. They're too polite, they talk funny, and stuff has too much shine on it. But the coffee's worse than Central's, so that's something.
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
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.

I got you a present. Did you? It's a book of poetry--romancy stuff. I thought, 'How schmaltzy is that,' so it seemed like the thing. Then I screwed up and left it in my desk at work
Nora Roberts
You don't fix a man the way you do a fault in a pipe or a leak in a roof. You take him as he is, Mary Brenna, or you don't take him at all...adjustments can't be all made on one side, darling, else the balance goes off and what's being built just falls down.
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
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
Nothing worthwhile is ever without complications.
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
The purest magic is in the heart.
Nora Roberts
Eve-In the name of all that is holy...It's 2060, not 1760. Can't they figure out a better way to handle this process? Roarke-Amen
Nora Roberts
A ghra. A amhain. My love. My only.
Nora Roberts
Sex might satisfy, food might fuel, love might sustain, but without coffee, what is the point?
Nora Roberts
What's your status? she asked him. Healthy, wealthy, and wise. What's yours? Ha. Mean, crafty, and rude.
Nora Roberts
You know, lieutenant, you wear your weapon the way other women wear pearls. It's not a fashion accessory.
Nora Roberts
I'd suggest putting your head between your knees, but I think that's physically impossible for you at the moment.
Nora Roberts
The very young and the very old often saw what others could not. Or would not.
Nora Roberts
It's about us. It's about trust.
Nora Roberts
The man that put that hurt look in your eyes, could be worth everything, or nothing at all.
Nora Roberts
I think things happen between people for a reason.
