Robin Williams, Academy
Award-winning actor, aged 63, was found dead at his home in Tiburon, California in an
apparent suicide yesterday.
His wife Susan
Schneider paid tribute to her husband:
"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost
one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly
heartbroken.” She also said: “As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus
will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter
he gave to millions.”
Here you can read
an article from The Guardian about one of his most famous movies, Dead Poets Society (1989).
“They’re not that different from you, are
they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you
feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they’re destined for great
things, just like many of you. Their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did
they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what
they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing
daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy
to you. Go on, lean in. Listen. You hear it? Carpe—hear it? Carpe, carpe diem.
Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.”
