Roger Ebert
Clouds do not really look like camels or sailing ships or castles in the sky. They are simply a natural process at work. So too, perhaps, are our lives.
Roger Ebert
Praise without merit is more harmful than unearned criticism.
Roger Ebert
Movies are like a machine that generates empathy.
Roger Ebert
We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try.
Roger Ebert
If you can act as if something is true, in a sense that makes it true.
Roger Ebert
Art is the closest we can come to understanding how a stranger really feels.
Roger Ebert
If your religion doesn't respect the rights of other religions, it is lacking something.
Roger Ebert
The Golden Thumb is not as good as the Oscar, but it is a lot of fun.
Roger Ebert
What I believe is that all clear-minded people should remain two things throughout their lifetimes: Curious and teachable.
Roger Ebert
We exist to have our wealth moved up the economic chain out of our reach.
