A Quote by Nora Ephron

It's much easier to get over someone if you can delude yourself into thinking you never really cared that much. — © Nora Ephron
It's much easier to get over someone if you can delude yourself into thinking you never really cared that much.
Why me?" she asked, holding on to him. "Because you cared," he whispered. "You cared so much for your people, it broke your heart to see the pack in ruins. You cared so much for your mother, you risked your life for hers. You cared enough to save someone who wanted you dead. And because you walk like a queen.
You never really hate anyone as much as someone you cared about once.
You must never delude yourself into thinking that you're investing when you're speculating.
As an actor, it's much, much easier to be really nasty to someone that you really like.
It's so much easier to have a crush on someone who you know isn't going to respond-it makes it nice and safe and you never have to humiliate yourself by getting knocked back.
I never much cared for politics. I love policy, and I love international policy in particular. I got to be Secretary of State; it really doesn't get much better than that. I love what I do. I love being a professor.
If you've got someone fighting your corner, someone who loves you and you love, and is also really, really clever, the battle is so much easier.
You know, I think everybody I've seen has come from some other therapy, and almost invariably it's very much the same thing: the therapist is too disinterested, a little too aloof, a little too inactive. They're not really interested in the person, he doesn't relate to the person. All these things I've written so much about. That's why I've made such a practice really, over and over to hammer home the point of self-revelation and being more of yourself and showing yourself. Every book I write I want to get that in there.
There's no way you can get the past right. You can pretend. You can delude yourself, but you can't re-create what's over.
When someone is bullying you, don't let it get to you. I remember my friends in school, someone said something mean to them, and they really let it get to them. And it really affected them. But I would just say try to ignore it as much as possible and just be yourself.
Not only are love and hate such closely related emotions, but it's a lot easier to hate someone you've cared about than someone you never have.
It's so much easier to convince yourself you're madly in love with someone when you know nothing about him.
There is nothing easy about becoming conscious. My own life was much easier before I knew about the deeper meaning of choice, the power of choice that accompanies taking responsibility. Abdicating responsibility to an outside source can seem, at least for the moment, so much easier. Once you know better, however, you can't get away with kidding yourself for long.
The good thing about being in someone else's apartment is it's so much easier to leave than it is to get someone out.
But when you kill someone you love, the hard part is never over. It just gets easier to distract yourself from what you've done.
Everybody knows what they were kind of drawn towards or what they're gifted at and it's more of courage and looking at yourself and saying, "I'm going to try something and move back in that direction." So it's less of an intellectual problem and it's more of an emotional problem because as you get into your 30's and 40's you get addicted to a paycheck and a comfort and you delude yourself into thinking this is what my life is and you lack the guts to be honest with yourself and to make that change.
