——Alfred Lord Tennyson
• A Midsummer Night’s Dream
• If we shadows have offended, Think but this — and all is mended— That you have but slumber’d here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend; If you pardon, we will mend. And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to escape the serpent’s tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call: So, good night unto you all, Give me your hand, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends
• O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills; For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths— for you the shores a-crowding; For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; Here Captain! dear father! This arm beneath your head; It is some dream that on the deck, You’ve fallen cold and dead.

Henry David Thoreau:Walden,or Life in the Woods
• I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
• Most men live lives of quiet desperation.
• Show me the heart unfettered by foolish dreams And I’ll show you a happy man.
—Alfred Lord Tennyson
• But only in their dreams can men be truly
• My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still; My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will; The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done; From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won; Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells! But I, with mournful tread, Walk the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.
• JOHN KEATING A man is not 'very tired'. He's 'exhausted'. And don't use 'very sad', use--Come on, Mr. Overstreet, you twerp. TODD Morose? JOHN KEATING Exactly! Morose! Now, language was developed for one endeavor, and that is--Mr. Anderson. Come on, are you a man or an amoeba? Mr. Perry? NEIL Uh... to communicate? JOHN KEATING No! To woo women. Today we're going to be talking about William Shakespeare. Oh, God. I know, a lot of you look forward to this about as much as you look forward to root canal work. We're gonna talk about Shakespeare as someone who writes something very interesting. Now, many of you have seen Shakespeare done very much like this: "O, Titus, bring your friend hither." But many of you have seen Marlon Brando... you know that Shakespeare can be different. "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears." You can also imagine maybe John Wayne as Macbeth going, "Waaall, is this a dagger I see before me?"
free It was always thus and always thus
will be.
—Keating
• Come, my friends. It’s not too late to seek a newer world. For my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset. And though we are not now that strength which in old days… moved earth and heaven… that which we are , we are. One equal temper of heroic hearts… made weak by time and fate, but strong in will. To strive, to seek, to find…and not to yield.

Dead Poets Society
O Captain! My Captain!
—Walt Whitman
• O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done; The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won; The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.
Memorable Quotes
• JOHN KEATING Why do I stand up here? DALTON To feel taller. JOHN KEATING No. Ding! Thank you for playing. I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way. See, the world looks very different from up here. You don't believe me? Come see for yourselves. Come on. Just when you think you know something, you have to look at it in another way. Even though it may seem silly, or wrong, you must try. Now, when you read, don't just consider what the author thinks. Consider what you think. Boys, you must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all. Thoreau said: "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." Don't be resigned by that. Break out. Now don't just walk off the edge like lemmings! Look around you! Dare to strike out and find new ground. Now, in addition to your essays, I would like you to compose a poem of your own, an original work. CLASS Ooh! JOHN KEATING Oef! La-ha-ha-ha-hum! That's right. You have to deliver it aloud, in front of the class on Monday. Ooh! Bon chance, gentlemen. Mr. Anderson! Don't think that I don't know that this assignment scares the hell out of you, you mole.
• 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. 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?
