My Virtual Reading Room

"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."

(Tom Schulman; lines spoken by Robin Williams in "The Dead Poets Society")
