More quotes by 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
In my sex fantasy, nobody ever loves me for my mind.
Nora Ephron
It's so interesting that we think we know the rules to this game, this total hypothetical game called, Would you, If you had it to do over. It's not out there.
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.

How marvelous it would have been to go to a women's college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.
Nora Ephron

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
I actually believe in denial.

The major concrete achievement of the women's movement of the 1970's was the Dutch treat.
Nora Ephron
I want to talk to her. I want to have lunch with her. I want her to give me a book she just read and loved. She is my phantom limb, and I just can’t believe I’m here without her.”- on losing her best friend
Nora Ephron
I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic.
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
The Wonderbra is not a step forward for women. Nothing that hurts that much is a step forward for women.
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
I have always thought it was a terrible shame that the women's movement didn't realise how much easier it was to reach people by making them laugh than by shaking a fist and saying, 'Don't you see how oppressed you are.
