More quotes by 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
Let's face it: part of being a grownup is that every day you have to choose between going out at night or staying home, and it is one of life's unhappy truths that there is not enough time to do both.
Nora Ephron
Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women.
Nora Ephron
And don't be frightened: you can always change your mind. I know: I've had four careers and three husbands.
Nora Ephron
What I love about cooking is that after a hard day, there is something comforting about the fact that if you melt butter and add flour and then hot stock, it will get thick!
Nora Ephron
Maintenance is what you have to do just so you can walk out the door knowing that if you go to the market and bump into a guy who once rejected you, you won't have to hide behind a stack of canned food. I don't mean to be too literal about this.
Nora Ephron
I always say that a successful parent is one who raises a child so that they can pay for their own psychoanalysis.
Nora Ephron
As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.
Nora Ephron
You can't retrieve you life (unless you're on Wikipedia, in which case you can retrieve an inaccurate version of it).
Nora Ephron
American society has a remarkable ability to resist change, or to take whatever change has taken place and attempt to make it go away.
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
I actually believe in denial.
Nora Ephron
I have for many years been puzzled by the persistence of Hugh Hefner. Why is he still here?
Nora Ephron
When your children are teenagers, it's important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you.
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 enter into a certain amount of madness when you marry a person with pets.
Nora Ephron
You're born, you die. Everything in between is subject to interpretation.
Nora Ephron
The empty nest is underrated.
Nora Ephron
That's your problem! You don't want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie.
Nora Ephron
[I] had gotten to the point where I simply could not make a bad vinaigrette, this was not exactly the stuff of drama. (Even now, I cannot believe Mark would want to risk losing that vinaigrette. You just don't bump into vinaigrettes that good.)
Nora Ephron
