The famous comedian Robin Williams committed suicide by hanging at his home on Aug. 11， 2014.

US President Barack Obama paid tribute to his life and work. “He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most.”

Williams added more nominations for his

performance as the inspirational English literature

teacher in the film Dead Poets Society.

Here are some classic lines of Dead Poets Society：

● Learn to think for yourselves again. No matter what anybody tells you， words and ideas can change the world.

● 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.

● Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by， and that has made all the difference.

● Just when you think you know something， you have to look at it in another way. Even though it may seem silly or wrong， you must try！ Now， when you read， dont just consider what the author thinks. Consider what you think.
