More quotes by 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
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
The hardest thing about writing is writing.
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

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
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
Look at the parts the Oscar-nominated actresses played this year: hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, and nun.
Nora Ephron
People have only one way to be.
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
I actually believe in denial.
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
I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.
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.
