"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."

--Mr. Keating, Dead Poets Society
