the dead poets society

@deadpoetsdaily / deadpoetsdaily.tumblr.com

to be read at the opening of d.p.s. meetings: "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..."

Dead Poets Society for the Signs

Aries: “Close your eyes, close your eyes! Close ‘em! Now tell me what you see.”
Taurus: “This is a battle, a war, and the casualties could be your hearts and souls.”
Gemini: “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?”
Cancer: “Poetry, beauty, romance, love… these are the things we stay alive for.”
Leo: “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!“
Virgo: "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.”
Libra: “We all have a great need for acceptance, but you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own.”
Scorpio: “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.”
Sagittarius: “Listen, you hear it? - - Carpe - - hear it? - - Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary.”
Capricorn: “I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way.”
Aquarius: “No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world.”
Pisces:“But only in their dreams can men be truly free. ‘Twas always thus, and always thus will be.”

Details I never realized from watching Dead Poets Society when I was younger:

  • “We weren’t a Greek organization” doesn’t refer to a fraternity, it’s actually a gay joke.
  • Neil Perry gives a guard dog cookies to shut it up and if that isn’t the purest Neil Perry thing ever I don’t know what is-
  • Mr. Keating was a member of the Dead Poets Society in 1942 so he is a wartime teen
  • Mr. Keating, when he says “I doubt the present administration would look favourable upon that,” makes an assumption that during his time at Hell-ton, there were teachers who may have supported him in his journey to independent thought as well- hence why he’d actually return to his old boarding school to teach

Sometimes I wonder if Todd developed a self destructive behavior in order to continue writing, after the huge success of that poetry collection based on his loss.

Maybe he did. Maybe he lose himself.

But one day someone invited him to a play... A Midsummer Night’s Dream. And then he remembered how magical and exciting it is to make your dreams come true and embrace your passion. Love your art and merge with it.

He didn’t get married. “I’m in love with my writing” he said multiple times. And he meant it, after all, it was in his writing, in between lines, that Neil Perry was timeless.
