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
I wonder what chairs think about all day: Oh, here comes another asshole.
Robin Williams
My battles with addiction definitely shaped how I am now. They really made me deeply appreciate human contact. And the value of friends and family, how precious that is.
Robin Williams
The little idiosyncrasies that only I know about: that's what made her my wife. Oh she had the goods on me too, she knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections, but they're not. Ah, that's the good stuff!
Robin Williams
You don't need cocaine! There's another way to get real high, and really mess your mind up, it's called marathon running!
Robin Williams
The first time I ate organic whole-grain bread I swear it tasted like roofing material.
Robin Williams
My God, look at the size of this man! Quick! Tell the other villagers we're going back to the boats!
Robin Williams
We were talking briefly about cocaine... yeah. Anything that makes you paranoid and impotent, give me more of that!
