More quotes by Nora Ephron
The major concrete achievement of the women's movement of the 1970's was the Dutch treat.
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.
Nora Ephron
In my sex fantasy, nobody ever loves me for my mind.
Nora Ephron
And don't be frightened: you can always change your mind. I know: I've had four careers and three husbands.
Nora Ephron
You can't call yourself a feminist if you don't believe in the right to abortion.
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 settle for reality, or you can go off, like a fool, and dream another dream.
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
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
So many of the conscious and unconscious ways men and women treat each other have to do with romantic and sexual fantasies that are deeply ingrained, not just in society but in literature. The women's movement may manage to clean up the mess in society, but I don't know whether it can ever clean up the mess in our minds.
Nora Ephron
If pregnancy were a book they would cut the last two chapters.
Nora Ephron
No man can be friends with a woman he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her. Sex is always out there. Friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Nora Ephron
I have for many years been puzzled by the persistence of Hugh Hefner. Why is he still here?
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
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.
Nora Ephron
The function of a blog is on some level to start a conversation that you're not involved in any more because you've already had your say. That thing of coming right off the news - did you see what I saw this morning, can you believe it? - has a kind of fun appeal.
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
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
I am not a new journalist, whatever that is. I just sit here at the typewriter and bang away at the old forms.
