We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion.
Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life; but poetry, beauty, romance, love: these are what we stay alive for.
--John Keating, Dead Poets Society
One of the best movies of all times, and definitely a sentiment I agree with. Poetry is my life blood sometimes. What do I do without it? I really don't know.
ReplyDeleteI agree. One of my all-time favorites movies.
