The divorce has lasted way longer than the marriage, but finally it's over. Enough about that. The point is that for a long time, the fact that I was divorced was the most important thing about me. And now it's not.

More quotes by Nora Ephron
Believe me, if I looked good, it's not an accident.
Nora Ephron
So many of the conscious and unconscious ways men and women treat each other have to do with romantic and sexual fantasies that are deeply ingrained, not just in society but in literature. The women's movement may manage to clean up the mess in society, but I don't know whether it can ever clean up the mess in our minds.
Nora Ephron
Marriages come and go, but divorce is forever.
Nora Ephron
Everybody dies. There's nothing you can do about it. Whether you eat six almonds a day. Whether or not you believe in God.
Nora Ephron
…the amount of maintenance involving hair is genuinely overwhelming. Sometimes I think that not having to worry about your hair anymore is the secret upside of death.
Nora Ephron
One of the great things about movies is that it's just that short period of time. It's a bubble. The last thing you want to know is that Elizabeth and Darcy had a fight over how to treat the servants!
Nora Ephron
Everybody I know who goes out and plays a little softball, they break their leg.
Nora Ephron
It's so interesting that we think we know the rules to this game, this total hypothetical game called, Would you, If you had it to do over. It's not out there.
Nora Ephron
No one is more romantic than a cynic. I do think that you don't become cynical or 'unsentimental' unless there's a core of romanticism or sentiment that's had a few chips nicked into it.
Nora Ephron
That's another thing about being a certain age that I've noticed: I try as much as possible not to look in the mirror.
Nora Ephron
You're born, you die. Everything in between is subject to interpretation.
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
You don't really have to believe what you write in a blog for more than the moment when you're writing it. You don't bring the same solemnity that you would bring to an actual essay.
Nora Ephron
Journalists are interesting. They just aren't as interesting as the things they cover.
Nora Ephron
I want to talk to her. I want to have lunch with her. I want her to give me a book she just read and loved. She is my phantom limb, and I just can’t believe I’m here without her.”- on losing her best friend
Nora Ephron
My parents were screenwriters, and they had four daughters and we all write. So that's amazing. Talk about powerful parents. My mother always said to us, Everything is copy.
Nora Ephron
In the way that women forget the pain of childbirth, men forget that they cry in movies.
Nora Ephron
Getting older means you don't have to shave your legs anymore.
Nora Ephron
If there is a Nora Ephron signature anything it is that there's slightly too much food. I have a friend whose mantra is: You must choose. And I believe the exact opposite: I think you should always have at least four desserts that are kind of fighting with each other.
Nora Ephron
It's always a shock to the people who run studios when a movie that is for women is a hit. They have an infinite capacity to be shocked.
