Robin Williams – We’ll Never Have Another Friend Like Him…

It often seems I’ve skipped a rung

Some days, for what it’s worth.

I’ve missed a step – I’ve slipped and swung

To some peculiar Earth.

On days like these, those moments tossed

Emerge with careless haste -

To leave me hopeless, hurt and lost,

With bitter truths to taste.

I’m sure it seems absurd to hear

I’d grieve to let him go -

I’d close my eyes and shed a tear

For guys I didn

Quotes by Joe Ducie (?)

“I think certain people resonate in our lives, and no matter how much time or how many worlds stand between us, we often gravitate back to those same people. Call it a weak sort of fate, magnets at the right polarity, but years, distance—even death—were no match to whatever near-inconceivable force I felt at that moment, sitting with Tia at her bar and sipping rocket fuel.”
― Joe Ducie, Broken Quill

“Perfect endings... they don't exist, 'Phie. Only in stories, where nothing ever really changes. Here, right now, isn't a story. There is no happy ending, because it's not the end. Do you understand?”

“Commercial fiction writing – where my bread is buttered – is fairly straightforward. The writing is simply efficiency and story. The more you have of one the less you need of the other.”
