"The only thing that should surprise us is that there are still some things that can surprise us." ~ Francois de La Rochefoucauld

 "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. So 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.”

Tom Schulman - Dead Poets Society
