88 Quotes by Robin Gibb

One morning I'd woken up about 4 a.m., feeling nauseous. The feeling lasted about an hour. It was at the time Maurice was in hospital with pains in his stomach. It was probably some indication that something was wrong, because I have never, ever had that feeling before.

He could play a few chords on a keyboard and inspire a whole song. I don't think anyone could play a few notes as magically as Maurice could. Maurice is a part of the history of the Bee Gees, so the music will always have Maurice in it. We've lost Maurice, but we'll never lose his inspiration.

I was in the car on my way to London, and Radio 2 was doing the Bee Gees story. They started playing the demos we'd made, then I heard Maurice talking. Suddenly that feeling of helplessness and non-acceptance came flooding back. I don't think you can ever come to terms with something like this. But you can learn to live with it.

I was being kept abreast of everything by phone, phoned almost by the hour, so I knew everything that was going on... I still can't come to terms with it now. It's just almost like a dream. It's like a nightmare that you wake up to every day. That's all we can say. It's just devastating. It's going to take a long time even just for it to sink in.

We're both devastated. We've actually been in shock for the last few days since Maurice was taken ill, and so this has all gone too fast for us.

The real world was just too real, and we didn't want to be a part of normal life. We wanted to create a magical world for the three of us.

You're looking at the Bee Gees right now.

You realize that however much you don't think about death - or think that's for other people - you're just an organism living from day to day. I'm just grateful I'm here.

It makes us feel better that everyone out there is thinking of Maurice.
