Farewell Robin Williams: 5 of his Most Famous Movie Quotes in Arabic Posted by on Aug 16, 2014 in Arabic Language, Culture

Marhaba! I am sure you’ve all come across the latest news that the Hollywood star (النجم السينمائي) Robin Williams has passed away. Although the Hollywood star decided to end his life voluntarily and there are many contrasting views on suicide (الانتحار) around the world which cut across religions and nations, the important fact remains that Robin Williams made millions and millions around the world laugh. His unmatched talents, acting skills and roles in different movies made him one of the most gifted stars to ever walk planet earth. He is one of my favorite actors (ممثلين) and today I want to share 5 of his most famous movie quotes (مقولات).

As you can realize from different social media outlets and news websites, many celebrities (مشاهير), politicians (سياسيين), and fans (معجبين) have paid their tribute to Williams by highlighting one or two of his quotes from different blockbuster movies. To make it much more interesting, I have translated these quotes to Arabic and I have added the corresponding video snippets from YouTube. He is such an amazing actor. One of my favorite tributes was by the Academy. It’s based on the movie Aladdin (علاءالدين). Check their tweet here.

About the Author: jesa

Salam everyone! Born as an American to two originally Arab parents, I have been raised and have spent most of my life in Beirut, Lebanon. I have lived my good times and my bad times in Beirut. I was but a young child when I had to learn to share my toys and food with others as we hid from bombs and fighting during the Lebanese Civil War. I feel my connection to Arabic as both a language and culture is severing and so it is with you, my readers and fellow Arabic lovers, and through you that I wish to reestablish this connection by creating one for you.
