More quotes by Roger Ebert
If a movie is really working, you forget for two hours your Social Security number and where your car is parked. You are having a vicarious experience. You are identifying, in one way or another, with the people on the screen.
Roger Ebert
All I require of a religion is that it be tolerant of those who do not agree with it.
Roger Ebert
I do suspect my star ratings average too high. But, of course, star ratings are ridiculous. I'm stuck with them.
Roger Ebert
All good art is about something deeper than it admits.
Roger Ebert
Because we are human, because we are bound by gravity and the limitations of our bodies, because we live in a world where the news is often bad and the prospects disturbing, there is a need for another world somewhere, a world where Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers live.
Roger Ebert
We live in a box of space and time. Movies are windows in its walls.
Roger Ebert
I have no fear of death. We all die. I consider my remaining days to be like money in the bank. When it is all gone, I will be repossessed.
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
Artists are rarely members of the popular crowd.
Roger Ebert
That's what fantasies are for, to help us imagine that things are better than they are.
Roger Ebert
Kindness’ covers all of my political beliefs.
Roger Ebert
Jane Austen wrote six of the most beloved novels in the English language, we are informed at the end of Becoming Jane, and so she did. The key word is beloved. Her admirers do not analyze her books so much as they just plain love them to pieces.
Roger Ebert
It's easier to identify with loss than love, because we have had so much more experience of it.
Roger Ebert
Every great film should seem new every time you see it.
Roger Ebert
Going to a movie so you won't be offended is like eating potato chips made with Olestra you avoid the dangers of the real thing, but your insides fill up with synthetic runny stuff.
Roger Ebert
I just assume I'm right. Partially out of conviction and partially as a pose.
Roger Ebert
I lost faith in the Oscars the first year I was a movie critic - the year that Bonnie and Clyde didn't win.
Roger Ebert
The screenplay is so well-written in a scruffy, fanzine way that you want to rub noses in it - the noses of those zombie writers who take 'screenwriting' classes that teach them the formulas for 'hit films.'
Roger Ebert
[D]oes the real world have any more substance than visions and hallucinations when we're having them? At any given moment, what's happening in our minds is all and everything that happens.
Roger Ebert
While I am usually in despair when a movie abandons its plot for a third act given over entirely to action, I have no problem with the way Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ends, because it has been pointing toward this ending, hinting about it, preparing us for it, all the way through. What a glorious movie.
