“No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.”
– Robin Williams
It seems appropriate to give centre stage to one of Robin Williams’ quotes this week. Maybe like you, I grew up watching him on ‘Mork & Mindy’,which at the time was one of the top TV shows around. I remember the excitement of waiting to see what he’d doin that week’s show.
His passing is very sad, yet he leaves an impressive legacy. A life spent making people laugh, movies that entertained and touched us and perhaps most of all (as we are now hearing) doing a lot for others without ever seeking recognition.
Here’s a short video of an out-take from the movie Awakenings. In it, he achieves something rare… making Robert De Niro laugh!

Nano, nano Robin.
Thanks for the inspiration.
ps – 2 bonus quotes from the comedic genius:
“A woman would never make a nuclear bomb.
They would never make a weapon that kills, no, no.
They’d make a weapon that makes you feel bad for a while.”
“Why do they call it rush hour when nothing moves?”
