I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity [Wellesley] stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word. 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 look as young as a person can look given how old I am.
Nora Ephron
People have only one way to be.
Nora Ephron
My parents were screenwriters, and they had four daughters and we all write. So that's amazing. Talk about powerful parents. My mother always said to us, Everything is copy.
Nora Ephron
The major concrete achievement of the women's movement of the 1970's was the Dutch treat.
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
