You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it. — Robin Williams | Printable Wall Art

Words by Robin Williams (1951-2014) — Actor and comedian known for Dead Poets Society and stand-up.

About this quote

This quote encourages people to embrace their unique quirks, eccentricity, and creative impulses rather than conforming to strict social norms. The spark represents original thought, playfulness, and imagination. Williams suggests that a small touch of unconventional thinking is essential for staying vibrant and genuine, and that losing it makes life dull and conventional.

Robin Williams spoke this line during his 1978 live stand-up comedy performance, Off the Wall, recorded at The Roxy in Los Angeles. It captured his belief in the importance of spontaneous, unfiltered humour.
