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?"

DEAD POETS SOCIETY (1989) dir. Peter Weir

“The world is their oyster. They believe they’re destined for great things, just like many of you, their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because, you see gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? - - Carpe - - hear it? - - Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary.”

I just talked to my father. He’s making me quit the play at Henley Hall. Acting’s everything to me, I… But he doesn’t know, he… He’s planning the rest of my life for me, and he’s never asked me what I want.

Medicine, law, business, engineering, those are noble persuits. And necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love. These are what we stay alive for.
