What every human being should do is eat a vegetarian diet based on whole foods. Period.
Roger Ebert
I am, beneath everything else, a fan. I was fixed in this mode as a young boy and am awed by people who take the risks of performance.
Roger Ebert
Of what use is freedom of speech to those who fear to offend?

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
Why are some people bullied? Because they are different. How? It doesn't matter.
Roger Ebert
If you can act as if something is true, in a sense that makes it true.
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
Low self esteem involves imagining the worst that other people can think about you.

Roger Ebert
Since any reasonable person would choose a Mac over a PC, Apple's market share provides us with an accurate reading of the percentage of reasonable people in our society.
Roger Ebert
I was born inside the movie of my life. The visuals were before me, the audio surrounded me, the plot unfolded inevitably but not necessarily. I don't remember how I got into the movie, but it continues to entertain me.
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
I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state.
Roger Ebert
What in the world is a leave of presence? It means I am not going away.
Roger Ebert
We can now have action movies with two stars where one might be African American and one might be Asian American. One of them doesn't have to be white, and the other one doesn't have to be the ethnic sidekick. We're way over that. And I think it's happening in society, too.
Roger Ebert
The problem with being sure that God is on your side is that you can't change your mind, because God sure isn't going to change His.
Roger Ebert
If your religion doesn't respect the rights of other religions, it is lacking something.
