More quotes by 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
I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state.
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
Many really good films allow us to empathize with other lives.
Roger Ebert
Sometimes you only need to have a few words with a person to know you would like to have many more.
Roger Ebert

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
All good art is about something deeper than it admits.
Roger Ebert
Only enormously talented people could have made Death to Smoochy . Those with lesser gifts would have lacked the nerve to make a film so bad, so miscalculated, so lacking any connection with any possible audience.
Roger Ebert
Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you.
Roger Ebert

Roger Ebert
Teenagers used to go to the movies to see adults having sex. Today adults go to the movies to see teenagers having sex.
Roger Ebert
When a girl says she likes you as a friend, what she means is: Rather than have sex with you, I would prefer to lose you as a friend.
Roger Ebert
It is universally agreed that Jean Renoir was one of the greatest of all directors, and he was also one of the warmest and most entertaining.
Roger Ebert
We live in a box of space and time. Movies are windows in its walls.
Roger Ebert
And yet, even so, there is a way to find happiness. That is to be curious about all of the interlocking events that add up to our lives. To notice connections. To be amused or perhaps frightened by the ways things work out. If the universe is indifferent, what a consolation that we are not.
Roger Ebert
Oh, here comes Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny and Jimmy Smits!
Roger Ebert
Why are some people bullied? Because they are different. How? It doesn't matter.
Roger Ebert
Blockbusters run the mainstream industry. We may never again have a decade like the 1970s, when directors were able to find such freedom.
Roger Ebert
There must be a better reason to have a baby than to provide a plot point in a rom-com. Don't you think?
