I love seeing animals doing human things. Riding a scooter, for example!

That's a terrific quote. I didn't ever really respect Ebert until I started following him on Twitter...sad?

Ha, I like that quote! Roger Ebert is such an inspirational person...doesn't surprise me that he also has many quotables.

Ironically (and sadly), my brother told me yesterday that Ebert no longer can speak from all the cigar smoking he had back in the day and has to use a keyboard from now onwards.... I have yet to see if this is true...

ugh, making someone less happy is the worst feeling in the world. i try to avoid it as much as possible.

Marsi @ The Cottage Cheese said...

Ebert is a deep guy. He has maintained such a beautiful attitude, despite his health problems. The guy is really an inspiration. And his relationship with his wife is so sweet.

Oh, and that is the world's cutest angry little puppy! So happy to see his face again. I posted him last year in a post entitled "This puppy looks like Orson Welles".
