As "John
Keatings": Robin Williams
Words of the teacher "John Keatings" to his students persuading them pursue their calling in life.
- "Boys, you must strive to find your own voice. The longer you wait to begin the less likely you are to find it all. Thoreau said most men lead lives of quiet desperation. Don’t be resigned to that. Break out." (around 44 :00)
- Now we all have a great need for acceptance. But you must trust that your beliefs are unique your own. Even though, others may think them odd or unpopular. Even though the herd may go "That's bad." Robert Frost said "Two roads diverged in the wood and I took the one less travelled by. And that has made all the difference." I want you to find your own walk right now; your own way of striding pacing any direction. Anything you want whether it's proud whether it's silly anything. Gentlemen the courtyard is yours. You don't have to perform. Just make it for yourself. (around 01:04:50)
Quote of Henry David Thoreau, written in the first page of the book of the "Dead Poets Society"
- “I went to 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 had come to
die discover that I had not lived.” (around 01:51:10)
Life comes with constraints. Few are blessed to lead a life with Midas touch. Given this reality, patience in going about things in life with a resilient mentality to smile even after expectations meets harsh dismays is the real enlightenment.
The climax scene of the movie, where the words of wisdom about pragmatism comes from Radha ravi.
