I was watching again the film "Dead Poets Society"; it's one of my
favorites! There comes a scene late in the film where Robin Williams's
character reads the following passage; i've always liked these words and
the author, but they really resonated with my soul a few nights ago, so i
thought i'd share them with you.

An excerpt from Waldon Pond
I went to the woods because I
wanted to live deliberately.
I wanted to live deep and suck
out all the marrow of life!
To put to rest all that was not life.
And not, when I came to die, discover
that I had not lived...
Henry David Thoreau
