"You’ve got to be crazy! It’s too..." - Quote by Robin Williams

“Gradual school is where you go to school and you gradually find out you don't want to go to school anymore.”

“There's this thing called freebasing. It's not free, it costs you your home. It should be called 'homebasing'.”

“Change is not popular; we are creatures of habit as human beings. 'I want it to be the way it was.' But if you continue the way it was there will be no 'is.'”

“When an artist is in the strict sense working, he of course takes into account the existing tastes, interests and capacity of his audience. These no less than the language , the marble, the paint, are part of his aw material.; to be used, tamed, sublimated, not ignored or defied. Haughty indifference to them is not genius, it is laziness and incompetence.”

“Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers.”

“I cannot marry the facts of William Shakespeare to his verse: Other men had led lives in some sort of keeping with their thought, but this man is in wide contrast.”

“One must shed the bad taste of wanting to agree with many. "Good" is no longer good when one's neighbor mouths it. And how should there be a "common good"! The term contradicts itself: whatever can be common always has little value. In the end it must be as it is and always has been: great things remain for the great, abysses for the profound, nuances and shudders for the refined, and, in brief, all that is rare for the rare.”

“There is just one life for each of us: our own.”

“I would never exchange my life with anybody else's.”
