Inspirational Quote

This is a quote from the great movie Dead Poet's Society. One of the most inspiring:

"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. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"

- John Keating (Robin Williams), Dead Poet's Society

Awesome movie. Very inspiring movie. This quote is also in my facebook quotes. Yay for Robin Williams!

That was a great movie! Robin Williams did an excellent job. This movie, and Mona Lisa Smile, are very inspirational movies about education.
