Beware of men who cry. It's true that men who cry are sensitive to and in touch with feelings, but the only feelings they tend to be sensitive to and in touch with are their own.

More quotes by Nora Ephron
I don't want to be someone that you're settling for. I don't want to be someone that anyone settles for. Marriage is hard enough without bringing such low expectations into it, isn't it?
Nora Ephron
A man who finishes a book is always alone when he finishes it.
Nora Ephron
You're born, you die. Everything in between is subject to interpretation.
Nora Ephron
Plastic surgery is a way for people to buy themselves a few years before they have to truly confront what ageing is, which of course is not that your looks are falling apart, but that you are falling apart and some-day you will have fallen apart and ceased to exist.
Nora Ephron
Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.
Nora Ephron
I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.
Nora Ephron
We weren't meant to have futures, we were meant to marry them. We weren't meant to have politics, or careers that mattered, or opinions, or lives we were meant to marry them. If you wanted to be an architect, you married an architect.
Nora Ephron
You can settle for reality, or you can go off, like a fool, and dream another dream.
Nora Ephron
I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity [Wellesley] stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word. How marvelous it would have been to go to a women's college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.
Nora Ephron
I actually believe in denial.
Nora Ephron
I have no desire to be dominated. Honestly I don't. And yet I find myself becoming angry when I'm not.
Nora Ephron
Success comes and goes. Your flops stay with you for life.
Nora Ephron
In my sex fantasy, nobody ever loves me for my mind.
Nora Ephron
It's always hard to remember love - years pass and you say to yourself, was I really in love or was I just kidding myself? Was I really in love or was I just pretending he was the man of my dreams? Was I really in love or was I just desperate?
Nora Ephron
The major concrete achievement of the women's movement of the 1970's was the Dutch treat.
Nora Ephron
The empty nest is underrated.
Nora Ephron
New Orleans is one of the two most ingrown, self-obsessed little cities in the United States. (The other is San Francisco.)
Nora Ephron
Sometimes I believe that some people are better at love than others, and sometimes I believe that everyone is faking it.
Nora Ephron
Why do people write books that say it's better to be older than to be younger? It's not better. Even if you have all your marbles, you're constantly reaching for the name of the person you met the day before yesterday.
Nora Ephron
When you're attracted to someone, it just means that your subconscious is attracted to their subconscious, subconsciously. So what we think of as fate is just two neuroses knowing that they are a perfect match. - Sleepless in Seattle
