Nora Roberts Quote

I'm wondering, if there was something you wanted, had wanted for some time, what would you do about it?If I've wanted it, why don't I have it?Because you haven't made any real effort to get it as yet.And why haven't I? He arched his sandy brows. Am I slow or just stupid?Brenna thought it over, decided he couldn't know he'd just insulted his first born. Then she nodded slowly. Maybe a bit of both in this particular case.Relieved to have the conversation turn to a safe area, he gave her a fierce grin. Then I'd stop being slow and I'd stop being stupid and I'd take good aim at what I wanted and not dawdle about. Because when an O'Toole takes aim, by Jesus, he hits his mark.That, she knew, was true enough. And was certainly expected. But maybe you're a bit nervous and not quite sure of your skill in this area.Girl, if you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer's always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.
