I don’t know about you, but if you ask me about the movies that made my childhood, the face that pops up in my mind is Robin Williams’. From Mrs. Doubtfire to Bicentennial Man, Good Morning, Vietnam, and Dead Poets Society, there’s probably not a single '80s or '90s kid who didn’t grow up fascinated by his personality and talent.
Robin Williams is a Hollywood icon who has left behind a legacy of pure comedy. His funny lines made him one of the most hilarious and talented actors of his time, and when he died, he left cinephiles and stand-up comedy fans with a void in their chests. His death was especially heartbreaking because it came so suddenly and unexpectedly. He had been battling depression for years, but no one outside of his family and friends knew how serious it had become until the news came out.
He was a man who always seemed to know what to do. He was famous for his improvisational skills, body language, and facial expressions that made the audience burst out laughing. You could always count on him to have something funny up his sleeve at any given moment, which is why it’s so hard to imagine this comedic genius not being able to see a glimmer of hope around him.
Even though we will never see him in a new blockbuster on our screens again, we can still remember Robin Williams’ best lines and performances with great joy and nostalgia. Today marks his birthday, and we thought to honor it with a collection of his greatest one-liners and movie quotes.

"We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."

"What’s wrong with death, sir? What are we so mortally afraid of? Why can’t we treat death with a certain amount of humanity and dignity, and decency, and God forbid, maybe even humor? Death is not the enemy, gentlemen. If we’re going to fight a disease, let’s fight one of the most terrible diseases of all, indifference."

True. Worrying without ever taking action is just pointless and wears you out. I get so anxious sometimes that I make myself sick and for what?
