DEAD POETS SOCIETY QUOTES

Neil Perry: 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.

John Keating: Tune in. turn on, and drop

dead.
John Keating: Tune in, turn on, and drop
dead.

John Keating: Carpe diem. Seize the

day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.

Todd Anderson: [standing on his desk]

Oh captain, my captain.

John Keating: "Seize the day. Gather ye

rosebuds while ye may." Why does the
writer use these lines?
John Keating: 'Seize the day. Gather ye
rosebuds while ye may.' Why does the
writer use these lines?
Charlie Dalton: Because he's in a hurry.
John Keating: No. Ding! Thank you for
playing anyway. Because we are food for
worms, lads. Because, believe it or not,
each and every one of us in this room is
one day going to stop breathing, turn cold
and die.

John Keating: "Seize the day Boys. Make

life extraordinary."
John Keating: Seize the day Boys. Make
life extraordinary.
John Keating: Carpe, carpe diem, seize
the day boys, make your lives
extraordinary.

John Keating: You must strive to find

your own voice because the longer you
wait to begin, the less likely you are going
to find it at all.

Neil Perry: So what are you going to do,

Charlie?
Charlie Dalton: Damn it Neil, the name
is Nuwanda.

Todd Anderson: [standing on his desk]

Oh captain, my captain.

John Keating: [Keating stands on his

desk] Why do I stand up here? Anybody?
Charlie Dalton: To feel taller!
John Keating: No!
John Keating: Thank you for playing Mr.
Dalton. I stand upon my desk to remind
myself that we must constantly look at
things in a di!erent way.

Charlie Dalton: Welton Academy, hello.

Yes he is, just a moment. Mr. Nolan, it's for
you. It's God. He says we should have girls
at Welton.

Neil Perry: For the first time in my whole

life, I know what I wanna do! And for the
first time, I'm gonna do it! Whether my
father wants me to or not! Carpe diem!

John Keating: There's a time for daring

and there's a time for caution, and a wise
man understands which is called for.

John Keating: O Captain, my Captain.

Who knows where that comes from?
Anybody? Not a clue? It's from a poem by
Walt Whitman about Mr. Abraham
Lincoln. Now in this class you can either
call me Mr. Keating, or if you're slightly
more daring, O Captain my Captain.

John Keating: Seize the day. Because,

believe it or not, each and every one of us
in this room is one day going to stop
breathing, turn cold and die.

John Keating: A man is not very tired.

He's exhausted. And don't use very sad.
Use... morose!
John Keating: Language was developed
for one endeavor, and that is... to woo
women.

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?

John Keating: They're not that di!erent

from you, are they? Same haircuts. Full of
hormones, just like you. Invincible, just
like you feel. The world is their oyster.
They believe they're destined for great
things, just like many of you, their eyes
are full of hope, just like you. Did they
wait until it was too late to make from
their lives even one iota of what they
were capable? Because, you see
gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing
da!odils. But if you listen real close, you
can hear them whisper their legacy to
you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? - -
Carpe - - hear it? - - Carpe, carpe diem,
seize the day boys, make your lives
extraordinary.

John Keating: No matter what anybody

tells you, words and ideas can change the
world.

John Keating: Carpe diem. Seize the

day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.
