Famous quotes containing the words independence and/or era:
“A tragic irony of life is that we so often achieve success or financial independence after the chief reason for which we sought it has passed away.”

“It struck me that the movies had spent more than half a century saying, “They lived happily ever after” and the following quarter-century warning that they’ll be lucky to make it through the weekend. Possibly now we are now entering a third era in which the movies will be sounding a note of cautious optimism: You know it just might work.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
