Nora Ephron

Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.

Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy.

We may tell ourselves that love is not really available. But the deeper truth is that we don’t entirely trust it, and therefore have a hard time fully opening to it or letting it all the way into us. This disconnects us from our own heart, exacerbating our sense of love’s scarcity.

Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache!

I’m well acquainted with villains that live in my head.

Women should serve men. Men should serve women. Any house of peace is full of servants.

I’m a wanderess, I’m a one night stand. Don’t belong to no city, don’t belong to no man.

If you love someone set them free. If they come back, they’re yours; if they don’t, they never were.

Love those you hate you.

Real love is freedom, and this is what you’ve been given by the Creator – the freedom to love and to choose your own path.

Have you ever been so melancholy, that you wanted to fit in the palm of your beloved’s hand? And lie there, for fortnights, or decades, or the length of time between stars? In complete silence?

True love does not leave you a choice.

I thought that true love was a just fairytale but I have it and it’s pretty amazing.

We don’t fall in love with people because they’re good people. We fall in love with people whose darkness we recognize. You can fall in love with a person for all of the right reasons, but that kind of love can still fall apart. But when you fall in love with a person because your monsters have found a home in them – that’s the kind of love that owns your skin and bones. Love, I am convinced, is found in the darkness. It is the candle in the night.

You don’t need to justify your love, you don’t need to explain your love, you just need to practice your love. Practice creates the master.

A happy love needs to be reciprocated.

If you can’t hurt with me, don’t flirt with me.
