We live in a box of space and time. Movies are windows in its walls.
Roger Ebert

Valentines Day is being marketed as a Date Movie. I think its more of a First-Date Movie. If your date likes it, do not date that person again. And if you like it, there may not be a second date.

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
Image
I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. You can't say it wasn't interesting. My lifetime's memories are what I have brought home from the trip.

The very fact of snow is such an amazement.
Roger Ebert

Life is made up of challenges that cannot be solved but only accepted.
Roger Ebert
Image
A movie isn't good or bad based on its politics. It's usually good or bad for other reasons, though you might agree or disagree with its politics.
Roger Ebert
Image
Praise without merit is more harmful than unearned criticism.
Roger Ebert
Image
We laugh, that we may not cry.

In Hollywood, 'under development' means 'all I have is the title.'
Roger Ebert
Image
We live in a box of space and time. Movies are windows in its walls. They allow us to enter other minds, not simply in the sense of identifying with the characters, although that is an important part of it, but by seeing the world as another person sees it.
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
I am not a believer, not an atheist, not an agnostic. I am still awake at night, asking how? I am more content with the question than I would be with an answer.
Roger Ebert
Image
'Marley' does what is probably the best possible job of documenting an important life.
Roger Ebert

Movies absorb our attention more completely, I think.
