Nora Ephron

Nora Ephron
Reading makes me feel I've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. ... Reading is bliss.
Nora Ephron
Getting older means you don't have to shave your legs anymore.
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 you're looking for monogamy, you'd better marry a swan.
Nora Ephron
The hardest thing about writing is writing.
