r/RobinWilliams

I watched Dead Poets Society recently and the movie is just very good, i wont say very because it's lazy, I will say Magnificent (like in one scene Mr. John Keating said use more expressive words).

I got stunned when i saw Neil's de*th like i never imagined that.

My favourite lines or quotes are :-

1. Carpe Diem - Seize the day

2. We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. 

3. When you read, don't just consider what the author thinks, consider what you think

4. No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world.

5. Only in their dreams can men be truly free. 'Twas always thus, and always thus will be.

6. I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way.

7. We all have a great need for acceptance. But you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular, even though the herd may go, "That's baaaaad."

When i read about Robin Williams (Mr. John Keating) and found that he succumbed to su*icide in real life, My heart felt very heavy, but when i read more then I found, it was due to Lewy body dementia, a neurological condition which led to progressive dementia with depression and that was diagnosed posthumously, and it was ultimately that disease which contributed to his su*cide.

(To everyone who have not watched it yet - And when the time comes, The Movie will find you....)

But wait a minute, let me climb to my table........

O Captain ! My Captain !

You will be missed...........
