More quotes by Nora Ephron
The Wonderbra is not a step forward for women. Nothing that hurts that much is a step forward for women.
Nora Ephron
Plastic surgery is a way for people to buy themselves a few years before they have to truly confront what ageing is, which of course is not that your looks are falling apart, but that you are falling apart and some-day you will have fallen apart and ceased to exist.
Nora Ephron
It had better be quirky or perverse or thoughtful enough so that you hit some chord in them. I mean we've all read pieces where we thought, 'Oh, who gives a damn.'
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
If you're looking for monogamy, you'd better marry a swan.
Nora Ephron
If there is a Nora Ephron signature anything it is that there's slightly too much food. I have a friend whose mantra is: You must choose. And I believe the exact opposite: I think you should always have at least four desserts that are kind of fighting with each other.
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
Getting older means you don't have to shave your legs anymore.
Nora Ephron
The major concrete achievement of the women's movement of the 1970's was the Dutch treat.
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
Too few journalists become screenwriters. I say to all the would-be screenwriters: Become journalists. And I’ll say to working journalists: Do not stay journalists. Become screenwriters.
Nora Ephron
I don't want to be someone that you're settling for. I don't want to be someone that anyone settles for. Marriage is hard enough without bringing such low expectations into it, isn't it?
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] 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
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
Beware of men who cry. It's true that men who cry are sensitive to and in touch with feelings, but the only feelings they tend to be sensitive to and in touch with are their own.
Nora Ephron
Journalists are interesting. They just aren't as interesting as the things they cover.
Nora Ephron
Whenever I get married, I start buying Gourmet magazine.
Nora Ephron
I actually believe in denial.
Nora Ephron
American society has a remarkable ability to resist change, or to take whatever change has taken place and attempt to make it go away.
