Nora Ephron

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

"I have made a lot of mistakes falling in love, and regrettedmost of them, but never the potatoes that went with them."

"Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real."
