We Did Ok, Kid Quotes

“When you see someone who’s suffering some terrible loneliness, you can say, “I know how you feel.” You can’t give them a shot and make them better. But you can be there.”
― Anthony Hopkins, We Did Ok, Kid: A Memoir

“It’s none of my business what people say of me or think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do for fun and free, because I love it. It’s all in the game. The wonderful game, the play of life upon life itself. There's noting to prove. There's nothing to win, nothing to lose. No sweat, no big deal. There are no big deals. Of myself, I am nothing and of myself, I can do nothing. It is the presence within that transforms and does everything, Of myself, I am nothing, and so I go about this business doing the best I can with what I've got.”

Her body was decaying. Her teeth had fallen out. Picasso gave her a kiss and some money. As they left, Gilot said, “Why did you introduce me to that woman?” He said, “In 1901, my friend the Spanish poet Carles Casagemas committed suicide over her beauty.”
