Nora Ephron
I try to write parts for women that are as complicated and interesting as women actually are.
Nora Ephron
As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.

Everybody I know who goes out and plays a little softball, they break their leg.
Nora Ephron
If pregnancy were a book they would cut the last two chapters.
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
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

Nora Ephron
I know that I am essentially a sort of fun-loving person who really just wants to sit around and eat pies.
