Biography
Early life and career
Cook grew up in Queens, New York, and moved to Leonia, New Jersey, when he was eight, where he could first have the "luxury" of having his own room. He graduated from Wesleyan University and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and finished his postgraduate medical training at Harvard.
Cook ran the Cousteau Society's blood-gas lab in the south of France. He later became an aquanaut (a submarine doc) with the U.S. Navy's SEALAB program when he was drafted in 1969. Cook served in the Navy from 1969 to 1971, reaching the rank of lieutenant commander. He wrote his first novel, The Year of the Intern, while serving on the Polaris submarine USS Kamehameha.

Famous quotes by Robin Cook:
"It's hard to see how we are going to secure both of these [climate change and peace in the Middle East] with a president in America who is not committed to them."
"We are only going to commit ground troops if there is a commitment to a political process. Nobody is going to commit ground troops in the context of a continuing war and a crumbling cease-fire,"
"I welcome any move which helps bring Milosevic to justice, ... It is vital that Milosevic answers these charges."
"It's very important that we all send Saddam Hussein a message that is resolute, is firm and is united, ... He must be firmly told that he is not going to be permitted to continue to build weapons of mass destruction, particularly biological and chemical weapons."
"I warmly welcome the news that the meeting in Rome has agreed (to) the terms of a statute to establish the International Criminal Court,"
"We are making sure that every possible pressure is brought to bear on President Mugabe, ... There has to be an end to the occupations and a start to elections."
"The killing must stop,"
"It makes me very angry and also at the same time very sad that anybody should carry out such a violent attack with no possible gain from it and only suffering to the individual and his family,"
"how to bring home to President Milosevic the need for an immediate end to repressive action."
"the first week of freedom for Kosovo."

Just Around The Corner
by: Robin CockThings aren't quite as they seem inside my domain
You can't know about everything
only pleasure and pain.
You wonder why I come here with head to my hands
Where else can I be cured and the king of your mansion?
A thorn in your side
a child to protect that claims he's free.
Just around the corner
half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
starved for some affection.
Darling
come quickly
come ease my mind
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time.
I've already made my bed
like it or not
As long as there's no regrets I'll be here
when the ride stops.
These comforts to me and these crosses to bare
with which we live.
Just around the corner
half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you
starved for some affection.
Baby
I can't drag you into this mess!
I'm the thorn in your side and the child to protect.
Just around the corner
half a mile to heaven
