I value the kind of prayer when you stand at the edge of the sea, or beneath a tree, or smell a flower, or love someone, or do a good thing. Those prayers validate existence and snatch it away from meaningless routine.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

Some movies run off the rails....

Some movies run off the rails. This one is like the train crash in The Fugitive. I watched it in mounting gloom, realizing I was witnessing something historic, a film that for decades to come will be the punch line of jokes about bad movies.

It has been said that the reason we establish relationships is to assure ourselves of a witness to our lives.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

I am as fond of colorful language as anyone, but I try not to inflict it upon strangers. I suspect many people sense they should have better manners, and need only a nudge. In high school, I was addressed for the first time in my life as 'Mister Ebert' by Stanley Hynes, an English teacher, and his formality transformed his classroom into a place where a certain courtliness prevailed.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

I've been around a long time, ...

I've been around a long time, and young men, if there is one thing I know, it is that the only way to kiss a girl for the first time is to look like you want to and intend do, and move in fast enough to seem eager but slow enough to give her a chance to say 'So anyway ...' and look up as if she's trying to remember your name.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

When a girl says she likes you...

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.'

A work is not about what it is...

A work is not about what it is about. It is about how it is about what it is about.

We are poor mortals, but it dreams to us that we can fly.

Aren't you getting tired of people hating one another? What do they think they get out of it?

All I know is, it is better to be the whale than the squid.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

My books are a subject of much discussion. They pour from shelves onto tables, chairs and the floor, and Chaz observes that I haven't read many of them and I never will. You just never know. One day I may - need is the word I use - to read Finnegans Wake, the Icelandic sagas, Churchill's history of the Second World War, the complete Tintin in French, 47 novels by Simenon, and By Love Possessed.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

Dogs remember every favor you ...

Dogs remember every favor you ever do for them and store those events in a memory bank titled Why My Human Is A God.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

I find that when I am actually writing, I enter a zone of concentration too small to admit my troubles.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

One of the most sublime and ha...

One of the most sublime and hazardous moments in human experience comes when two people lock eyes and realize that they are sexually attracted to one another. They may not act on the knowledge.They may file it away for future reference. They may deny it. They may never see each other again. But the moment has happened, and for an instant all other considerations are insignificant.

3-D is a waste of a perfectly good dimension. Hollywood's current crazy stampede toward it is suicidal. It adds nothing essential to the moviegoing experience. For some, it is an annoying distraction. For others, it creates nausea and headaches.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

There are two things you can't...

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 401 quotes

A remarkable documentary that's also one of the most beautiful nature films I've seen.

Yes, I was fat, but I dealt with it by simply never thinking about it. It is useful, when you are fat, to have a lot of other things to think about.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

What's sad about not eating is...

What's sad about not eating is the experience, whether at a family reunion or at midnight by yourself in a greasy spoon under the L tracks. The loss of dining, not the loss of food.

Roger Ebert 401 quotes

Dear Bill (O'Reilly)...I am concerned that you have been losing touch with reality recently. Did you really say you are more powerful than any politician? That reminds me of the famous story about Squeaky the Chicago Mouse. It seems that Squeaky was floating on his back along the Chicago River one day. Approaching the Michigan Avenue lift bridge, he called out: Raise the bridge! I have an erection!
