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. And 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. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be? ~ (Robin Williams as) John Keating in The Dead Poets Society

Damnit, what the hell movie is this from?! It's some French film and I saw it at the Detroit Institute of Arts with this blonde girl I met at a coffee shop. Something along the lines of "Disgusting" or something. This is going to drive me mad.
