"So if I asked you about art you’d probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written...Michelangelo? (beat) You know a lot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientation, the whole works, right? But I bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling. Seen that.....If I asked you about women you'd probably give me a syllabus of your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. I ask you about war, and you'd probably--uh--throw Shakespeare at me, right? "Once more into the breach, dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap and watched him gasp his last breath, looking to you for help. And if I asked you about love y'probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone could level you with her eyes. Feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you...who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it’s like to be her angel and to have that love for her to be there forever. Through anything. Through cancer. You wouldn't know about sleeping sittin’ up in a hospital room for two months holding her hand because the doctors could see in your eyes that the term visiting hours don't apply to you. You don't know about real loss, because that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself. I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much."

Few could have delivered those lines with such a gracefulness and depth of feeling, such that can only come from an older actor who's suffered the wear and tear over the years.

One of the greatest. Rest easy.

I just watched that movie a few weeks ago. One of his best performances.

I feel like watching Jumanji now. That's another memorable one.
 
I wanted to say something detailed...but can't.

The more I thought about it, the more I choked up, so I gave up and cried instead.

You were part of my childhood Mr. Williams, you made me laugh, and cry....but now I'm just crying instead.

I love you Robin Williams. It was hard just writing this out cause I'm still in tears.
 
Fuck. My favorite film of his has always been Dead Poet's Society. I love every single one of his films. It's going to be tough watching the new Night at The Museum film. My condolences to Zelda Williams and family. Rest in peace, Captain.

This picture gave me a lump in my throat. I forgot all about his daughter, she must be going through hell right now. They seemed so very close. It's a shame he couldn't find the power to stay alive for her :(

I have a 9 year old daughter and we play games together a lot... I'll admit I lost it when I saw that pic of Robin & Zelda together. How terribly hearbreaking.
 
I've been kind of speechless about this for the past hour. I just can't process this news. Fuck everything :(

It hurts so much to see depression claim another life. I really hope someday people view it differently and understand it better.
 
This is the first celebrity death to really hit me...I can't even imagine what Zelda is going through right now.


I feel like watching all of his movies this weekend. Thanks @sn4ke_911 for posting that picture. I'm going to get a full list and just burn through it by release day (I'll probably leave Aladdin for last since I'll just get to teary eyed ;( )
 
What does it mean that when someone as wealthy and intelligent as him can't get the help he needs after all these years?

His.legacy will live on
 
My friend just text me this. I can't even fathom him killing himself. It just doesn't feel right. This is probably Steve Irwin level of sad right now.

May a great comic and fellow gamer RIP. My thoughts go out to his family.
 
The world just got a little dimmer. Thanks for the laughs Robin. You made my childhood and many others. Plus your banter and quick wit in comedy is without equal. Sorry to friends, family, and the world.


DAMN IT!!!

It truly is a horrific illness. We all deal with it from time to time, but sometimes there is absolutely no cure, and unfortunately if you let it in even just a little bit it will consume you.
 
My first memories of Robin Williams comes from either Mork & Mindy reruns in the early-mid 80s or from my seeing Popeye on Betamax around the same time. I watched Popeye a lot back then and like a lot of us pretty much grew up with his work.

Probably hardest hitting death of someone I never really knew or met since 2007.
 
He was so talented and funny. He would have these moments where he would get on a roll and you could see the wheels turning in his head going a million miles an hour. He was something else. The world got a whole lot less funny right now.

RIP Robin Williams, you brought us all a big smile when you were here.
 
im really sad about this. i loved him growing up being genie in aladdin being one of my favorite movies growing up and the other movies he made when i was young. RIP you will be missed by all.

Yea, I can't even begin to imagine. I mean, the best way I can is thinking of when I feel down, and imaging that feeling being permanent. That's just terrifying.
 
As a kid my favorite movie of his was Jumanji. As an adult It's Good Will Hunting. However, I really enjoyed most of his movies, even the ones that didn't get good reviews. So this is pretty depressing.

Imagine having a mental illness that puts you in a profound state of sadness and hopelessness for years at a time. Clinical depression is a deadly disease with a very high mortality rate.

Depression is something that is hard for people to truly understand. It's like being trapped in a mental hell, where every second you are hitting the lowest of lows (rock bottom/in the gutter) emotions. It almost paralyzes you, and you are constantly questioning why you are alive. Your thoughts start to wander into dark places, and it's hard to break from it. It then becomes more and more difficult to find motivation to even get out of the bed every morning.

If you've found yourself in a slump, where you can't get yourself motivated to do things in your life...or I don't know, like you spend an entire day or week doing nothing. Time just keeps flying by, and you realize you are wasting your life. Imagine that being your existence EVERY day on top of all the emotional pain and turmoil. It's a truly terrifying way to live. Words can't even quantify the kind of pain you go through emotionally either. The closest I can think of, is the grief/loss you feel when someone close to you has died. But it's that amplified, and is constant day and day out. I'm not clinically depressed, but I had a family member that was (who also took his life). And this is what he told me. I felt incredibly sad for him.

Mental illness/depression is truly scary. So it upsets me when people go to the "they are being selfish" defense. Maybe we are being selfish, for wanting them to stay alive when they are being tortured day in and day out. I truly believe every person has the right to quality of life. And if your existence is that constantly, then who are we to say that they are being selfish. I do understand helping people that are suicidal, and trying to do what we can to stop them. But yeah.
