Roger Ebert Depressing Quotations

There's something depressing about a young couple helplessly in love. Their state is so perfect, it must be doomed. They project such qualities on their lover that only disappointment can follow.

I am informed that 5,000 cockroaches were used in the filming of Joe's Apartment. That depresses me, but not as much as the news that none of them were harmed during the production.

My motto: 'No good movie is depressing. All bad movies are depressing.'

A depressing number of people seem to process everything literally. They are to wit as a blind man is to a forest, able to find every tree, but each one coming as a surprise.

In thinking about 'depressing movies,' many people don't realize that all bad movies are depressing, and no good movies are.
