Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]What was the Dead Poets Society?

[00:00:03]We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.

[00:00:07]We read and write poetry because we are members [music] of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion.

[00:00:16]Medicine, law, [music] business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.

[00:00:23]Poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.

[00:00:32]Show me the heart unfettered by foolish dreams, and I'll show you a happy man.

[00:00:38]But only in their dreams can men be truly free. [music] It was always thus, and always thus will be.

[00:00:46]Tennyson.
