At The End Of The Day, Some

Roger Ebert

At the end of the day, some authors will endure and most, including some very good ones, will not. why do i think reading is important? it is such an effective medium between mind and mind. we think largely in words. a medium made only of words doesn't impose the barrier of any other medium. it is naked and unprotected communication. that's how you get pregnant. may you always be so.

More From Roger Ebert

I'm very pessimistic about adaptations from one medium to another. i've got a very kind of primitive, puritan view of it. i tend to think that if something was derived for one medium, then there's no real immediate reason to think that it's necessarily going to be as good or better if adapted into another one. there have been very good stage plays that have made some very good films. but there are not so many differences between the theater and the cinema as there are between the cinema and, say, reading a book or reading a comic.

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.

Hard work is about risk. it begins when you deal with the things that you'd rather not deal with: fear of failure, fear of standing out, fear of rejection. hard work is about training yourself to leap over this barrier, tunnel under that barrier, drive through the other barrier. and after you've done that, to do it again the next day

Are my characters copies of people in real life? ... don't ever believe the stories about authors putting people into novels. that idea is a kind of joke on both authors and readers. all the readers believe that authors do it. all the authors know that it can't be done.

I'm naked in esquire in august. i was naked on the set the other day. i'm always naked. i'm naked right now, in fact.

I was born in august, no july, 1908.

You used," he said, and then took a sharp breath, "to call me augustus.

Then all at once in late august's heat, tall leafless stalks crowned with iridescent pink and purple blossoms burst from the purgatory in the earth. this arcane act of nature, though perceived by us as ordinary, is a manifestation of maya's phantom play, the great immensity expressed in every way. my garden is the universe. i am the universe. i am my garden. all things are the same.

I didn't want to look at them, so i looked away, and to look away was to look at augustus.
