Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it. ~ Roger Ebert's famous review of the 1994 Rob Reiner comedy North
I believe we are born with our minds open to wonderful experiences, and only slowly learn to limit ourselves to narrow tastes. We are taught to lose our curiosity by the bludgeon-blows of mass marketing, which brainwash us to see "hits," and discourage exploration. ~ Roger Ebert
A plot is about things that happen. A story is about people who behave. To admire a story you must be willing to listen to the people and observe them. ~ Roger Ebert
There are two kinds of men who never amount to much: those who cannot do what they are told and those who can do nothing else. ~ Cyrus Hermann Kotzschmar Curtis
The ability of so many people to live comfortably with the idea of capital punishment is perhaps a clue to how so many Europeans were able to live with the idea of the Holocaust: Once you accept the notion that the state has the right to kill someone and the right to define what is a capital crime, aren't you halfway there? ~ Roger Ebert
I grew up exuberant in body but with a nervy, craving mind. It was wanting something more, something tangible. It sought for reality intensely, always as if it were not there... But you see at once what I do. I climb. ~ John Menlowe Edwards, British rock climber (18 June 1910)
