Mr. Anderson thinks that everything inside of him is worthless and embarrassing. Isn’t that right, Todd? Isn’t that your worst fear? Well, I think you’re wrong. I think you have something inside of you that is worth a great deal. “I sound my barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world.”
I wish you could see it from over there. (Insp.)
Favorite Movies (16/40): Dead Poets Society (1989)
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 to that. Break out!

— Don’t you ever dispute me in public. Do you understand? — Father, I wasn’t disputing– — After you’ve finished medical school and you’re on your own, then you can do as you damn well please. But until then, you do as I tell you. Is that clear? — Yes sir. I’m sorry.

" Nothing ".
Neil is told by his parents that he's being transferred to another school. Now I get that his father is worried that he wont be able to make a living out of acting. But I don't want to understand that perspective. I want to express my anger on why our parents, who are supposed to be the first people to support us , to atleast try and understand us , go to such great lengths to curb our individuality . To not let us find our own way. I understand why he goes silent when his father asks him to tell him what he feels. I get it.

“And I think you should come live with me and we can be pirates. Then you won’t have to cry or hide in the closet. And just like a folk song our love will be passed on.”
