The fact is, most people are not going to be rich someday. And we've had a concerted policy of taking money away from the poor and giving it to the rich wholesale, and at the same time, we have the runaway corporations, and the greed.

More quotes by Roger Ebert
To call A Lot like Love dead in the water is an insult to water.
Roger Ebert
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.
Roger Ebert
It is reckless to make broad generalizations about any group of people.
Roger Ebert
James Cameron's films have always been distinguished by ground-breaking technical excellence.
Roger Ebert
Here's a notion: Peace in the Middle East would come about more easily if the region were governed by women.
Roger Ebert
We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds.
Roger Ebert
There are two things you can't argue in film: comedy and eroticism. If something doesn't make you laugh, no one can tell you why it's funny, and it's difficult to reason someone out of an erection.
Roger Ebert
Socrates told us, the unexamined life is not worth living. I think he's calling for curiosity, more than knowledge. In every human society at all times and at all levels, the curious are at the leading edge.
Roger Ebert
To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.
Roger Ebert
Last year, I reviewed a nine-hour documentary about the lives of Mongolian yak herdsmen, and I would rather see it again than sit through The Frighteners.
Roger Ebert
If your religion doesn't respect the rights of other religions, it is lacking something.
Roger Ebert
One of the weapons Marvel used in its climb to comic-book dominance was a willingness to invent new characters at a dizzying speed. There are so many Marvel universes, indeed, that some superheroes do not even exist in one another's worlds, preventing gridlock.
Roger Ebert
What happens in a fantasy can be more involving than what happens in life, and thank goodness for that.
Roger Ebert
Rollerball is an incoherent mess, a jumble of footage in search of plot, meaning, rhythm and sense. There are bright colors and quick movement on the screen, which we can watch as a visual pattern that, in entertainment value, falls somewhere between a kaleidoscope and a lava lamp.
Roger Ebert
The very fact of snow is such an amazement.
Roger Ebert
I do not fear death. I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear.
Roger Ebert
There are few lonelier sights than a good comedian being funny in a movie that doesn't know what funny is.
Roger Ebert
The buried code of many American films has become: If I kill you, I have won and you have lost. The instinctive ethical code of traditional Hollywood, the code by which characters like James Stewart, John Wayne and Henry Fonda lived, has been lost.
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
Every great film should seem new every time you see it.
Roger Ebert
