These are some of the best dialogues spoken in the movie:
“Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.” – John 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.” – John Keating
“No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world.” – John Keating
“We’re not laughing at you – we’re laughing near you.” – Neil Perry
“Sucking the marrow out of life doesn’t mean choking on the bone.” – John Keating
“There’s a time for daring and there’s a time for caution, and a wise man understands which is called for.” – John Keating
“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.” – John Keating
These dialogues capture the essence of the movie and inspire us to embrace life, pursue our passions, and make our voices heard.
