In memory of Rutger Hauer:

January 23, 1944 – July 19, 2019.

Brilliant character actor, director and writer.

He wrote the dialogue for this scene, his character Roy Batty’s farewell monologue, in Blade Runner (1982):


“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.
All those moments will be lost … in time … like … tears … in rain.
Time to die.”


This is one of the most emotionally moving scenes in cinema history.

I've been a fan of Rutger Hauer, and the movie Blade Runner, since I first saw it in the cinema, in 1982.

Rest in peace, Rutger Hauer, and thank you for all you gave us.

Writing is a form of therapy;
sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint, can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic, and fear which is inherent in a human situation.

Introvert insight:


Far from being bored in silence, introverts are often absorbed in a world of colorful thoughts.
We are eager for the pause because it gives us the chance to mentally digest what we have seen and heard.

- Micheala Chung, author of The Irresistible Introvert.
