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.

Love is the will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth.

Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache!

“Love isn’t a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.

Better to put your heart on the line, risk everything, and walk away with nothing than play it safe. Love is a lot of things, but ‘safe’ isn’t one of them.

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.

Constancy in love is a good thing; but it means nothing, and is nothing, without constancy in every kind of effort.

I can’t help this awful energy. God damn right, you should be scared of me.

The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them; it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.

You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

I think… if it is true that there are as many minds as there are heads, then there are as many kinds of love as there are hearts.

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

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

The choice to follow love through to its completion is the choice to seek completion within ourselves. The point at which we shut down on others is the point at which we shut down on life.

My love rumbles like the sternum of a lion. Be mindful of the beast you stir up.

I know you’re dying to meet me, but I can just tell you this. Baby, as soon as you meet me, you’ll wish that you never did.
