“don’t limit poetry to the word. Poetry can be found in music, a photograph, in the way a meal is prepared—anything with the stuff of revelation in it. It can exist in the most everyday things but it must never, never be ordinary. By all means, write about the sky or a girl’s smile, but when you do, let your poetry conjure up salvation day, doomsday, any day. I don’t care, as long as it enlightens us, thrills us and—if it’s inspired— makes us feel a bit immortal.”
― N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society

“I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way.”

“How difficult it is for any of us to listen to our own voice or maintain our own beliefs in the presence of others.”
― Tom Schulman, Dead Poets Society

“How do we, like Walt, permit our own true natures to speak? How do we strip ourselves of prejudices, habits, influences? The answer, my dear lads, is that we must constantly endeavor to find a new point of view.”
― N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society
