I feel like I'm a big human snot.
Robin Williams
Please, don't worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting.
Robin Williams
It's that idea that you can have one drink - and no you can't. Within a week I was drinking heavily. It was so quick that even I was like, 'Wow.'
Robin Williams
I got to ninth grade and there was wrestling, and I went, 'Wait a minute, this is fun.' Basically, it was a chance for a small kid like me to get a chance to wail on another small kid. I went, 'I love this.' The discipline of it was great. Plus, I really started to be good at it.
Robin Williams
A woman wouldn't make a bomb that kills you. A woman would make a bomb that makes you feel bad for a while. That's why there should be a woman President. There'd never be any wars, just every twenty-eight days there'd be very intense negotiations.
Robin Williams
Avoid using the word 'very' because it's lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason boys - to woo women - and in that endeavor, laziness will not do.
Robin Williams

Robin Williams
You can start any 'Monty Python' routine and people finish it for you. Everyone knows it like shorthand.
Robin Williams
Divorce is expensive. I used to joke they were going to call it 'all the money,' but they changed it to 'alimony.' It's ripping your heart out through your wallet.
Robin Williams
Here's the best birth control in the whole world, if you really, if you have no pills, if you have no diaphragm, if you have no other form of contraception. Use it for ladies, if he comes at you with that little thing in his hand, just laugh at it. They can't deal with it, OK, it'll be gone.
Robin Williams
Dreams don't deal in time. Time doesn't count.
Robin Williams
I'm sorry, if you were right, I'd agree with you.
Robin Williams
I love running cross-country...You come up a hill and see two deer going, 'What the hell is he doing?' On a track I feel like a hamster.
Robin Williams
The sort of liveliness which increases with age is not far distant from madness.
Robin Williams
All you have to do is think one happy thought, and you'll fly like me.
Robin Williams
Ballet: men wearing pants so tight that you can tell what religion they are.
Robin Williams
I always wanted to play a big, black man, but that would cost too much make-up.
Robin Williams
My comedy is like emotional hang-gliding.
Robin Williams
Boys, you must strive to find your own voice, because the longer you wait to begin the less likely you are to find it at all.
Robin Williams
You know what music is - a harmonic connection between all living beings.
