Nora Ephron
I actually believe in denial.
Nora Ephron

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

Nora Ephron
I have for many years been puzzled by the persistence of Hugh Hefner. Why is he still here?
Nora Ephron
I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.
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
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
Having been married so many times, I know that one of the few things I am an expert in is falling in love.
Nora Ephron
As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.
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
Marriages come and go, but divorce is forever.
Nora Ephron
You enter into a certain amount of madness when you marry a person with pets.
