Art Quote by Nora Roberts

““You did study art there?" Gennie persisted. Grant watched the smoke rise and the haze of heat that rippled the air. "Why?" "Because it's obvious from that wicked little caricature you drew of me that you have talent, and that you've had training. What are you doing with it?" "With what?"

Weren't you going to make a salad?" "Damn it, Grant-" "All right, don't get testy.I'll make it.””
