Powerful Voices - Roger Ebert: The Essential Man by Chris Jones for Esquire

























'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, he writes in a journal entry titled "Go Gently into That Good Night." 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. What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. You can't say it wasn't interesting. 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.' (Roger Ebert)

True passion in life can move the mountains and creates a new life purpose. When others would give up, movie critic Rogert Ebert find happiness and drive to continue his work. An inspiring article by Chris Jones in Esquire takes you into Ebert's journey.
