More quotes by Nora Ephron
I look out the window and I see the lights and the skyline and the people on the street rushing around looking for action, love, and the world's greatest chocolate chip cookie, and my heart does a little dance.
Nora Ephron
In my sex fantasy, nobody ever loves me for my mind.
Nora Ephron
In the way that women forget the pain of childbirth, men forget that they cry in movies.
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
And don't be frightened: you can always change your mind. I know: I've had four careers and three husbands.
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
Journalists are interesting. They just aren't as interesting as the things they cover.
Nora Ephron
Marriages come and go, but divorce is forever.
Nora Ephron
It had better be quirky or perverse or thoughtful enough so that you hit some chord in them. I mean we've all read pieces where we thought, 'Oh, who gives a damn.'
Nora Ephron
Success comes and goes. Your flops stay with you for life.
Nora Ephron
One of the few advantages to not being beautiful is that one usually gets better-looking as one gets older. I am, in fact, at this very moment gaining my looks.
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
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're born, you die. Everything in between is subject to interpretation.
Nora Ephron
I have made a lot of mistakes falling in love, and regretted most of them, but never the potatoes that went with them.
Nora Ephron
[Wellesley College] is about as meaningful to the educational process in America as a perfume factory is to the national economy.
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.
Nora Ephron
I try to write parts for women that are as complicated and interesting as women actually are.
Nora Ephron
Some people pretend to like capers, but the truth is that any dish that tastes good with capers in it tastes even better with capers not in it.
Nora Ephron
If pregnancy were a book they would cut the last two chapters.
