More quotes by Nora Ephron
I try to write parts for women that are as complicated and interesting as women actually are.
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
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
New Orleans is one of the two most ingrown, self-obsessed little cities in the United States. (The other is San Francisco.)
Nora Ephron
Everybody I know who goes out and plays a little softball, they break their leg.
Nora Ephron
You can never have too much butter - that is my belief. If I have a religion, that's it.
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
You can't call yourself a feminist if you don't believe in the right to abortion.
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
Women are being considered as candidates for vice-president of the United States because it is the worst job in America. It's amazing that men will take it. A job with real power is first lady. I'd be willing to run for that. As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.
Nora Ephron
When I buy a new book, I always read the last page first, that way in case I die before I finish, I know how it ends. That, my friend, is a dark side.
Nora Ephron
Everybody dies. There's nothing you can do about it. Whether you eat six almonds a day. Whether or not you believe in God.
Nora Ephron
The image of the journalist as wallflower at the orgy has been replaced by the journalist as the life of the party.
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
The empty nest is underrated.
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
That's your problem! You don't want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie.
Nora Ephron
I actually believe in denial.
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
There are plenty of men who philander during the summer, to be sure, but they are usually the same lot who philander during the winter - albeit with less convenience.
