“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. 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.” ― N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society

-Sylvia Plath written in 1949 at age 17
