Dogs notice, they share, they draw conclusions, they like it when they're able to be of service and are touchingly grateful when they're praised.

More quotes by Roger Ebert
Families and their problems go on and on, and they aren't solved, they're dealt with.
Roger Ebert
If you can act as if something is true, in a sense that makes it true.
Roger Ebert
When I had been a film critic for ten minutes, I treated Doris Day as a target for cheap shots. I have learned enough to say today that the woman was remarkably gifted.
Roger Ebert
What happens in a fantasy can be more involving than what happens in life, and thank goodness for that.
Roger Ebert
In the best of all possible worlds, directors would obsess about the quality of their storytelling, and not the details of their technical methods.
Roger Ebert
The children of Birmingham did not really die in the State of Alabama, however, because Alabama is a state of mind, and in the minds of the [white] men who rule Alabama, those children had never lived [...] their blood is on so many hands, that history will weep in the telling...and it is not new blood. It is old, so very old.
Roger Ebert
When I write, I fall into the zone many writers, painters, musicians, athletes, and craftsmen of all sorts seem to share: In doing something I enjoy and am expert at, deliberate thought falls aside and it is all just THERE. I think of the next word no more than the composer thinks of the next note.
Roger Ebert
Many thrillers follow such reliable formulas that you can look at what's happening and guess how much longer a film has to run.
Roger Ebert
I think most people are more susceptible to prejudice than to reason.
Roger Ebert
Life is made up of challenges that cannot be solved but only accepted.
Roger Ebert
The ability of so many people to live comfortably with the idea of capital punishment is perhaps a clue to how so many Europeans were able to live with the idea of the Holocaust: Once you accept the notion that the state has the right to kill someone and the right to define what is a capital crime, aren't you halfway there?
Roger Ebert
Reese Witherspoon is as cute as a button on Raggedy Ann's overalls, but irresistible raw sex appeal is not one of her qualities.
Roger Ebert
We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds.
Roger Ebert
Growing up, I missed the whole 'Three Stooges' thing. Either they weren't on the station in my hometown, or we hadn't bought a TV set yet, or they came to town too late for me. I'm pretty sure that at the right age, I would have loved them.
Roger Ebert
Cinema, for me, has always been something like music composed with photographic images.
Roger Ebert
Movies that encourage empathy are more effective than those that objectify problems.
Roger Ebert
All good art is about something deeper than it admits.
Roger Ebert
What a terrible thing it would be to be the Pope! What unthinkable responsibilities to fall on your shoulders at an advanced age! No privacy. No seclusion. No sin.
Roger Ebert
Who was the real Hitchcock? I interviewed him once and haven't a clue.
Roger Ebert
Of what use is freedom of speech to those who fear to offend?
