More quotes by Roger Ebert
There's something depressing about a young couple helplessly in love. Their state is so perfect, it must be doomed. They project such qualities on their lover that only disappointment can follow.
Roger Ebert
One of the gifts one movie lover can give another is the title of a wonderful film they have not yet discovered
Roger Ebert
People send me e-mails saying, You're a movie critic. You don't know anything about politics. Well, you know what, I'm 60 years old, and I've been interested in politics since I was on my daddy's knee. During the 1948 election, we were praying for Truman. I know a lot about politics.
Roger Ebert
If you plan to miss this movie, better miss it quickly I doubt if it'll be around to miss for long.
Roger Ebert
We live in a box of space and time. Movies are windows in its walls.
Roger Ebert
From a dramatic viewpoint, there are few professions that grant their members entry into other lives, high among them cops, doctors, clergymen, journalists and prostitutes. Perhaps that explains why they figure in so much television and cinema. Their lives are lived in the midst of human drama.
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
Someone once said the fundamental reason we get married is because have a universal human need for a witness.
Roger Ebert
Well, you know what, I'm 60 years old, and I've been interested in politics since I was on my daddy's knee. During the 1948 election, we were praying for Truman. I know a lot about politics.

Of what use is freedom of speech to those who fear to offend?
Roger Ebert
Life is made up of challenges that cannot be solved but only accepted.
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
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
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
The Golden Thumb is not as good as the Oscar, but it is a lot of fun.
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.
Roger Ebert
The fact is, most people are not going to be rich someday. And we've had a concerted policy of taking money away from the poor and giving it to the rich wholesale, and at the same time, we have the runaway corporations, and the greed.
Roger Ebert
It's the worst kind of bad film: the kind that gets you all worked up and then lets you down, instead of just being lousy from the first shot.
Roger Ebert
What every human being should do is eat a vegetarian diet based on whole foods. Period.
