The layout was griping, the glide is awesome. Two ten-inch fins up, way up.

Of what use is freedom of speech to those who fear to offend?
Roger Ebert
Image
I am grateful for the gifts of intelligence, love, wonder and laughter. You can't say it wasn't interesting.

Many thrillers follow such reliable formulas that you can look at what's happening and guess how much longer a film has to run.
Roger Ebert
Image
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.

Movies are like a machine that generates empathy.
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

I lost faith in the Oscars the first year I was a movie critic - the year that Bonnie and Clyde didn't win.
Roger Ebert

I just assume I'm right. Partially out of conviction and partially as a pose.
Roger Ebert

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.

It is reckless to make broad generalizations about any group of people.

In Hollywood, 'under development' means 'all I have is the title.'

By going to the movies, and because of other things, too, going to college, making a wide variety of friends, moving around traveling, I became a lot more open-minded than the heritage I was born into might have suggested.

Never marry anyone you could not sit next to during a three-day bus trip.
