Keating: No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world.
Keating: Now I'd like you to step forward over here. They're not that different 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 daffodils. 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.
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.
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?
Keating: Sucking all the marrow out of life doesn't mean choking on the bone.
Keating: There is a time for daring and a time for caution, and a wise man knows which is called for.
Neil: This deskset wants to fly.
Neil: For the first time in my life, I know what I want to do! And for the first time, I'm going to DO IT! Whether my father wants me to or not!
John Keating: We're not laughing at you - we're laughing near you.
Daulton: [answering phone] Welton Academy, hello. Yes he is, hold on. Mr. Nolan, it's for you. It's God. He says we should
have girls at Welton.
[Quoting Henry David Thoreau.]Neil: I went into 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 came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Todd: Truth is like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold. You push it, stretch it, it'll never be enough. Kick at it, beat it, it'll never cover any of us. From the moment we enter crying, to the moment we leave dying, it'll just cover your face as you wail and cry and scream.
Todd: Why don't you just call him and ask him and maybe he'll say yesNeil: That's a laugh. If I don't ask him, at least I won't be disobeying him.
Keating: 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 heard may go " That's bad." Robert Frost said, " Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I, 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 or silly. Anything. Gentlemen, the courtyard is yours. You don't have to perform. Just make it for yourself. Mr. Dalton, will you be joining us Charles: Exercising the right not to walk Keating: Thank you, Mr. Dalton. You just illustrated the point. Swim against the stream
Nolan: John, the curriculum here, as set, has proven it works. If you question it, what's to prevent them from doing the same Keating: I always thought the idea of education was to learn to think for yourself.
McAllister: You take a big risk by encouraging them to become artists, John. When they realize they're not Rembrandts, Shakespeares, or Mozarts, they'll hate you for it Keating: We're not talking artists, George. We're talking free thinkers McAllister: Free thinkers at seventeen? Keating: Funny, I never pegged you as a cynic McAllister: Not a cynic, a realist. Show me the heart unfettered by foolish dreams and I'll show you a happy man Keating: But only in their dreams can men be truly free. T'was always thus and always thus will be McAllister: Tennyson? Keating: No, Keating.
