“Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny ... and everything in between. But he was one of a kind.”
“Long time a child, and still a child, when years Had painted manhood on my cheek, was I; For yet I lived like one not born to die; A thriftless prodigal of smiles and tearsâ€” No hope I needed, and I knew no fears. But sleep, though sweet, is only sleepâ€”and waking, I waked to sleep no more; at once o'ertaking The vanguard of my age, with all arrears Of duty on my back. Nor child, nor man, Nor youth, nor sage, I find my head is gray, For I have lost the race I never ran. A rathe December blights my lagging May: And still I am a child, though I be old Time is my debtor for my days untold.”

“It is still summer, but the summer is no longer alive. It has come to a standstill; nothing withers, and fall is not ready to begin. There are no stars yet, just darkness.”
“I am a fairly optimistic person... If everything that I'm involved in now suddenly fell away, I know I would cope because I've coped before.”
“There is simply no dignified way for a woman to live alone. Oh, she can get along financially perhaps (though not nearly as well as a man), but emotionally she is never left in peace. Her friends, her family, her fellow workers never let her forget that her husbandlessness, her childlessness - her selfishness, in short - is a reproach to the American way of life.”
“All I wanted was just what everybody else wants, you know, to be loved.”
“Never encourage a man to cook breakfast; it cause him to wonder if women are necessary.”
