Heroism's just doing more than you want to do or think you can. Sometimes it's just doing the crappy things, the unhappy things other people won't do....It's not just jumping out of a plane onto a glacier ten thousand feet up because there's nobody else there to do it. It's getting out of bed in the morning when it seems like too much trouble.

You saved me, Eve. He watched her blink in absolute shock. What you are, what I feel for you, what we are together saved me. He kept his eyes on hers as he kissed her.
Nora Roberts
Why couldn't she have this, just enjoy this, without creating obstacles, digging up problems, worrying about mistakes, about tomorrow's? Why let the maybe's, the what if's, the probabilities spoil something so lovely?
Nora Roberts
You--Roarke. Eyes watering, she reached for more tissue. Jesus, Eve. Jesus Christ, you never sleep with anybody. And you're telling me you slept with Roarke? That's not precisely accurate. We didn't sleep.
Nora Roberts
The man that put that hurt look in your eyes, could be worth everything, or nothing at all.
Nora Roberts
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.
