Lesbianism has always seemed to me an extremely inventive response to a shortage of men, but otherwise not worth the trouble.
Nora Ephron
My closet is full of sad little scripts that didn't get made that have sad endings. It's very hard to get a movie made that has a sad ending.
Nora Ephron
Everybody I know who goes out and plays a little softball, they break their leg.

[On George W. Bush:] How is it possible that the president is off on vacation and the vice president is, too? Not that it matters that much if the president is on vacation on some level, the president is always on vacation.
Nora Ephron
The odd thing about this form of communication is you're more likely to talk about nothing than something. But I just want to say that all this nothing has meant more to me than so many... somethings. So, thanks.

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
You can blame Al Gore and you can blame Ralph Nader and you can blame George Bush, but I blame Bill [Clinton]. I just do. I just think he squandered his presidency the night that woman delivered that pizza to him, and if he hadn't, we wouldn't be where we are and there would be a lot of people who are alive today who aren't.
Nora Ephron
If pregnancy were a book they would cut the last two chapters.
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
You can't retrieve you life (unless you're on Wikipedia, in which case you can retrieve an inaccurate version of it).
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
In the way that women forget the pain of childbirth, men forget that they cry in movies.
Nora Ephron
That's another thing about being a certain age that I've noticed: I try as much as possible not to look in the mirror.
Nora Ephron
I’m really not interested in women as victims. Look at me, I get the last laugh ‘cause I get to be funny about it.
Nora Ephron
Why do people write books that say it's better to be older than to be younger? It's not better. Even if you have all your marbles, you're constantly reaching for the name of the person you met the day before yesterday.
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.
