“The hardest spiritual work is to work in everyday life. How is it that we manage to follow any sort of spiritual path in the midst of the mayhem that is ordinary life? Through others we find meaning and purpose, and in them we see useful mirrors of ourselves. Yet we also recognize a profound need for silence, for the stillness of solitude… How can we wisely balance the need for solitude and ¬community in our lives and in our spiritual search?”

“Maybe young women don’t wonder whether they can have it all any longer, but in case of you are wondering, of course you can have it all. What are you going to do? Everything, is my guess. It will be a little messy, but embrace the mess. It will be complicated, but rejoice in the complications. It will not be anything like what you think it will be like, but surprises are good for you. And don’t be frightened: you can always change your mind. I know: I’ve had four careers and three husbands. And this is something else I want to tell you, one of the hundreds of things I didn’t know when I was sitting here so many years ago: you are not going to be you, fixed and immutable you, forever. Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women. Good luck. The first act of your life is over. Welcome to the best years of your lives.”
—Nora Ephron (1941-2012)
