Nora Ephron
You're born, you die. Everything in between is subject to interpretation.
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

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.

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
You enter into a certain amount of madness when you marry a person with pets.
Nora Ephron

Nora Ephron
My mother was a good recreational cook, but what she basically believed about cooking was that if you worked hard and prospered, someone else would do it for you.
Nora Ephron
Summer bachelors, like summer breezes, are never as cool as they pretend to be.
Nora Ephron
Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up.
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
So, twice a week, I go to a beauty salon and have my hair blown dry. It’s cheaper by far than psychoanalysis, and much more uplifting.
Nora Ephron
Getting older means you don't have to shave your legs anymore.
Nora Ephron
I am not a new journalist, whatever that is. I just sit here at the typewriter and bang away at the old forms.
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
