A few important quotations from Roger Ebert's words and writings throughout time:

• "I'd like to see Michael Moore get up there [at the Academy Awards] and let 'em have it with both barrels and really let loose and give them a real rabble-rousing speech."
   
• "People who believe in either Creationism or New Age beliefs such as crystal healing or astrology are not qualified to be President."
   
• "I have never said, although readers have freely informed me I am an atheist, an agnostic, or at the very least a secular humanist -- which I am."
   
• The Boulder Pledge:  "Under no circumstances will I ever purchase anything offered to me as the result of an unsolicited eMail message.  Nor will I forward chain letters, petitions, mass mailings, or virus warnings to large numbers of others.  This is my contribution to the survival of the online community."
   
• "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.  I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. My lifetime's memories are what I have brought home from the trip -- I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris."
