I Feel Bad About My Neck

by Nora Ephron

I may not be good at purses, but I know that any purse that hangs stiffly on your arm (instead of on your shoulder) adds ten years to your age, and furthermore immobilizes half your body.

The third best thing about a pedicure is that when it’s over, your feet really do look adorable.

Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel I’ve accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. 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.

Keep a journal. Take more pictures.

If anyone young is reading this, go, right this minute, put on a bikini, and don’t take it off until you’re thirty-four.

Thanks nora
