An image of Rob Reiner with this name and 1947-2025, with an inset image of Mandy Patinkin with the words:
"How do we process this unthinkable tragedy? Loss after loss after loss! What is happening to our world? What is happening to our human race?
I can't breathe, but I'm breathing. I'm howling at the gods every moment. Then I talk to a friend or myself and quiet down and I realize the gods are not to blame, the tsunami of tragedy is the responsibility of human beings.
When we were filming the scene in The Princess Bride, where Inigo kills the six fingered man and says: 'I want my father back you son of a bitch,' take after take after take Rob kept asking me to do less - do less - do less. In my sleepless night, I realized he wanted less anger from me to allow my broken heart to be felt.
Now I'm hearing his voice tell us all to do more - do more - do more to repair the human soul to repair our hearts to repair our country to repair our world. To never give up, to keep fighting, to keep living for every soul taken from this earth, that no longer has the life and breath to raise their voices for a better world, we must raise our voices for them."
