More quotes by Nora Ephron
Sometimes I believe that some people are better at love than others, and sometimes I believe that everyone is faking it.
Nora Ephron
I actually believe in denial.
Nora Ephron

Nora Ephron

Nora Ephron

Nora Ephron
Look at the parts the Oscar-nominated actresses played this year: hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, and nun.
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
I am continually fascinated at the difficulty intelligent people have in distinguishing what is controversial from what is merely offensive.
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
You can't call yourself a feminist if you don't believe in the right to abortion.
Nora Ephron
I've just surfaced from spending several days in a state of rapture: I was reading a book... I felt alive and engaged and positively brilliant, bursting with ideas, brimming with memories of other books I've loved.
Nora Ephron
When your children are teenagers, it's important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you.
Nora Ephron
You can't retrieve you life (unless you're on Wikipedia, in which case you can retrieve an inaccurate version of it).
