We exist to have our wealth moved up the economic chain out of our reach.
Roger Ebert
Image
[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
Image
It's like the high school production of something you saw at Steppenwolf, with the most gifted students in drama class playing the John Malkovich and Joan Allen roles.
Roger Ebert
Image
A remarkable documentary that's also one of the most beautiful nature films I've seen.
Roger Ebert
Image
Of all the arts, movies are the most powerful aid to empathy, and good ones make us into better people.
Roger Ebert
Image
Most people choose movies that provide exactly what they expect, and tell them things they already know. Others are more curious. We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds.

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.

It often strikes me that the actors in high school movies look too old.

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 right really dominates radio, and it's amazing how much energy the right spends telling us that the press is slanted to the left when it really isn't. They want to shut other people up. They really don't understand the First Amendment.
Roger Ebert
Image
It's strange: We leave the movie having enjoyed its conclusion so much that we almost forgot our earlier reservations. But they were there, and they were real.
Roger Ebert
Image
We don't have a lot of class-conscious filmmaking.
Roger Ebert
Image
Movies are not about moving, but about whether to move.
Roger Ebert
Image
That's what fantasies are for, to help us imagine that things are better than they are.
Roger Ebert
Image
Many people believe the names of In 'n Out and Steak 'n Shake perfectly describe the contrast in bedroom techniques between the coast and the heartland.
Roger Ebert
Image
I begin to feel like I was in the last generation of Americans who took a civics class. I begin to feel like most Americans don't understand the First Amendment, don't understand the idea of freedom of speech, and don't understand that it's the responsibility of the citizen to speak out.

If there's one thing I've learned in this life, it's that you never say no to an old gypsy woman with a blind eye and leprous fingernails.

[Marlon] Brando was the only guy who could step out of that shadow at the end of that movie and be worth the wait.

Parents and schools should place great emphasis on the idea that it is all right to be different. Racism and all the other 'isms' grow from primitive tribalism, the instinctive hostility against those of another tribe, race, religion, nationality, class or whatever. You are a lucky child if your parents taught you to accept diversity.
