jo march x neil perry.

Jo March: Women... They have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. They’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I am so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for! I am so sick of it... But I’m so lonely.

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. What will your verse be? — J. Keating.

Quote from Maurice (1971), novel by E.M. Forster – I think you’re beautiful, the only beautiful person I’ve ever seen. I love your voice and everything to do with you, down to your clothes or the room you are sitting in. I adore you.

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 all noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love! These are what we stay alive for — John Keating, Dead Poets Society (dir. by Peter Weir)
