Remembering Roger J. Ebert June 18, 1942 - April 4, 2011

"Kindness covers all of my political beliefs.  No need to spell them out.  I believe that if, at the end, 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.

To make others less happy is a crime.  To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts.  We must try to contribute joy to the world.  That is true no matter what our problems, our health, circumstances.  We must try.  I didn't always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.
                                                                                           -Roger Ebert

This is a quote from the only film critic to ever be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
