Sums up the entire film brilliantly. This has been the philosophy of my entire life.

… this movie is trying to say with every ounce of poetry that the story is about. It goes like this: “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. Medicine, law, business, engineering; these are all noble pursuits necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, and love; these are what we stay alive for.” I just really wanted to share it, because it’s a wonderful line.
