R.I.P. NORA EPHRON- A GREAT BABE

Writer and filmmaker Nora Ephron died at the age of 71 in Manhattan Tuesday. She was inspiring, witty, and hilarious. In a nutshell, exactly the kind of babe we love and will miss.

She leaves behind an endless abundance of quotes  in her books, movies, and essays. Here are a few:

"Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim." — '96 Wellesley commencement address

"The desire to get married is a basic and primal instinct in women. It's followed by another basic and primal instinct: the desire to be single again."

"I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." — Harry, When Harry Met Sally

"Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together... and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home... only to no home I'd ever known... I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like... magic." — Sam, Sleepless in Seattle

“…the amount of maintenance involving hair is genuinely overwhelming. Sometimes I think that not having to worry about your hair anymore is the secret upside of death.” ― I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman
