More quotes by Nora Ephron
What failure ofimagination had caused me to forget that life was full of other possiblities, including the possibility that eventually I would fall in love again?
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
No one is more romantic than a cynic. I do think that you don't become cynical or 'unsentimental' unless there's a core of romanticism or sentiment that's had a few chips nicked into it.
Nora Ephron
I look as young as a person can look given how old I am.
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
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
The Wonderbra is not a step forward for women. Nothing that hurts that much is a step forward for women.
Nora Ephron
Oh, how I regret not having worn a bikini for the entire year I was twenty-six. If anyone young is reading this, go, right this minute, put on a bikini, and don't take it off until you're thirty-four.
Nora Ephron
What will happen to sex after liberation? Frankly, I don't know. It is a great mystery to all of us.
Nora Ephron
Journalists are interesting. They just aren't as interesting as the things they cover.
Nora Ephron
I am continually fascinated at the difficulty intelligent people have in distinguishing what is controversial from what is merely offensive.
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
people in New Orleans really care about food, care about it passionately, can spend hours arguing over whether Antoine's is better than Galatoire's or the other way around ... in New Orleans, there is basically nothing to do but eat and then argue about it.
Nora Ephron
I look out the window and I see the lights and the skyline and the people on the street rushing around looking for action, love, and the world's greatest chocolate chip cookie, and my heart does a little dance.
Nora Ephron
You can settle for reality, or you can go off, like a fool, and dream another dream.
Nora Ephron
In the way that women forget the pain of childbirth, men forget that they cry in movies.
Nora Ephron
Everybody dies. There's nothing you can do about it. Whether you eat six almonds a day. Whether or not you believe in God.
Nora Ephron
I know that I am essentially a sort of fun-loving person who really just wants to sit around and eat pies.
