Nora Roberts Quote Novels & Stories

I began when she took steps towards them but she shrugged me off. "Do any of you have anything you wish to say to me or my friend?" She asked them cooly and the women acted confused. "If you both don't have the guts to say those words to either of our faces then you shouldn't bother uttering them out loud because the next time I hear such rubbish, I'll cut your tongues off." Nora threatened as she glowered at the women and they cowered. I forgot how scary Nora was when she chose to be and I was grateful for her intervention.

"Honestly such a shame — if I'd met you earlier, you could've married Max and we'd all just be one big happy family." "Nora." Max tapped her arm with his cue. She swatted it away. "Oh relax. Rosa's great and you know it." "I never said she wasn't." Max paused for a second. "Just — don't say stuff like that." He looked at me. "Sorry. She just says whatever comes into her head." "It's fine, I know she didn't mean anything by it." I waved it off. Max smiled, said he'd go grab us drinks, and walked away.

she said to Alice, who had come to stand behind her. Alice placed a reassuring hand on Nora's shoulder. "Whatever happens, just remember that this is just the beginning. You have so much potential, Nora, and nothing can stop you from achieving your dreams," she said, smiling warmly. "Whatever happens, just remember that this is just the beginning. You have so much potential, Nora, and nothing can stop you from achieving your dreams," Alice said, her warm smile putting Nora at ease. "Thank you so much, Alice. I really appreciate your words of encouragement," Nora replied, feeling a surge of confidence.

“I would be. If you looked happy.” The silence stretched. “He love-bombs you,” Nora said carefully, choosing her words like glass. “And you’re too hooked to see it. Are you under a spell or something?” Robbin laughed, but it sounded hollow. “When was the last time you did something just because you wanted to?” Nora pressed. Robbin didn’t answer.

Nora’s brows furrowed slightly, discerning the gravity of Nina’s request. She understood the implications, the layers of pain and protection that veiled Nina’s words. With a reassuring smile, she nodded, her gaze unwavering. “Don’t worry. Your past is yours to share; when and if you choose. I’ll respect your wishes.” Nina’s face softened, and her eyes showed a sense of gratitude. “Thank you,” she whispered sincerely. “Look,” Nora began, her voice a gentle guide. “Since you’ve already walked forward in your life, leaving everything behind... don't ever look back.”

The man was already trembling, trying to talk his way out of whatever fate awaited him. Nora leaned against the brick wall, arms crossed, watching the scene unfold. She did not announce her presence immediately. She watched silently what he was going to do with the man next. Finally, she spoke. “Want a hand, Robert?” He glanced over his shoulder, meeting her gaze. His expression did not change, but she caught the flicker of an emotion. “You should not have followed me here.” “Well, here I am now,” she replied, stepping closer. “And curiosity kills cats.”

“I can’t believe you’re asking me this.” I let out a quiet, nervous laugh. “Just answer.” “You?” she said. “You’d take it.” My heart skipped. “Don’t even act like you wouldn’t,” she continued. “You’ve never been the type to sit back and lose something that matters to you.” I said nothing. “Listen to me,” Nora went on, her voice firmer now. “Everybody chooses themselves in the end. And if they don’t, they regret it.” I closed my eyes.

" Nora said in one breath shouting yelling and irritation visible. My eyes widened in shock. Did the sweet little Nora just cursed at me...?! At Xavier Throne?! "N-Nora?" I said not knowing from where to start. "Yes!" She said venomously but still didn't cut the call. "Oh so now you are going to have revenge on me ? Really Nora?" I asked as if this is the most funny thing I have ever heard. "No I am not going to have revenge on you. I am too lazy for that! I will sit here and let karma fuck you up own it own! And if I was big on revenge my darling lot of people would have been hurt!" She said gasping and shouting.

“Such a shame. But I suppose someone has to be third.” I stared past her, eyes fixed on the condensation crawling down the tiled wall. My silence only encouraged her. “Nora really is quite impressive,” she said, selecting another almond. “Not too flashy. Very Luna-coded, as they say.” She smiled faintly. “And the public loves a quiet rise.” I could feel my fingernails pressing crescents into my arms. I didn’t loosen them.

“Don't worry, have trust in yourself, you will, I believe in you” I looked at Nora and smiled, “what good thing did I ever do that God gave me Nora as a friend”, she is the best person I have ever met in my life. Even if I had to pay back with my life, it couldn't be enough to pay back for all the good things Nora has done for me.
