Nora

 “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.” — Billy Crystal to Meg Ryan in “When Harry Met Sally

This is one of my favorite movies as are many of her other works. Nora Ephron brought so much intelligence about human nature to everything she did and I'm so sad to hear of her passing. All I can do is watch one of her movies and read some of her writing, in thanks to all that she gave. I hope there are people who can step up to the plate and fill the void left by her passing... who knows, maybe you'll be one of them (yes, I'm talking you YOU, (no, not you Robert De Niro) nonexistent reader of my blog).
