another reason for doing literature

people might laugh and think that i'm weird, but there are certain movies that i watch with a pen and a piece of paper in my hand. why? simple, i love to jot down interesting new words, sayings and quotes.. i'm definitely not a plagiarizer, but in a way, a copier!

and the passion, the sparks for teaching and writing literature come again today after watching this movie...

'dead poet society'

and robin williams' character as Mr. Keating in the movie touched me, one of the characteristics of teacher i would like to have

these are the quotes:

'words and ideas can change the world'

'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 human race is filled with passion'

'what is language for? to woo women - Shakespeare'

'we must stand taller to see things differently'

though the ending sacrificed a pioneer character, it means a lot!
as i would say, see the significance...
