Quotes by Roger Ebert (?)

“It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it.”

“I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do.

That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try.”
