[Quoting Henry David Thoreau.]
Neil: I went into the woods because I wanted to live
deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life
... to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die,
discover that I had not lived.
_______________________________
John Keating: 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.
