The ever-present expectancy of death is never far removed from any of us — whether we realize it or not. None of us can avoid it. It comes alike to the great and to the unknown; to the righteous and to the unrighteous. Wherein we differ is not in our ability to avert it, but in the preparedness with which we meet it. At such times some question the judgments of God. Some find bitterness because of the circumstances and because of the seeming untimeliness of death.

Harold Robbins

Harold Robbins

Harold Robbins (May 21, 1916-October 14, 1997) was an American author.

Robbins claimed to be a Jewish orphan raised in a Catholic boys home who made and lost a fortune by age 20. In fact, Harold Rubin was reared by his pharmacist father and stepmother in Brooklyn. And his first wife wasn't a Chinese dancer who died from a parrot bite as he had also claimed, she was in fact merely his high school sweetheart [1] (when that marriage ended after 28 years, he married four more times).
