“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.”

“We are dreaming of tomorrow and tomorrow isn't
coming
We are dreaming of a glory that we don't really want
We are dreaming of a new day when the new day's here already
We are running from the battle when it's one that must be fought.
And still we sleep.
We are listening for the calling but never really heeding
Hoping for the future when the future's only plans
Dreaming of the wisdom that we are dodging daily
Praying for a saviour when salvation's in our hands.
And still we sleep.
And still we dream,
And still we fear,
And still we pray,
And still we sleep.”
― Dead Poets Society
