Carpe Diem
John Keating: "Seize the day. Gather ye rosebuds while ye may." Why does the writer use these lines?
Charlie Dalton: Because he's in a hurry.
John Keating: No. Ding! Thank you for playing anyway. Because we are food for worms, lads. Because, believe it or not, each and every one of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold and die.

What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn’t have the courage to say “yes” to life?

An Open Letter to the Boy I Was
I can see you there, staring out with a mixture of wonder and fascination. I see the light behind your eyes, shining through and illuminating the color with the intensity of youth. I know your face because it once was mine. Your eyes are my eyes before the wrinkles of laughter and the lines that tears have slowly eroded on the sides of them. This is an open letter to the boy I was. When the...

If I had my way
I would go live in a cottage by the lake for a month. Alone. Then I’ll shave all my hair. All I’ll bring is a dog, a computer, a book, my art stuff, and food that will last me a month. Kind of like The Secret Window except I’d be bald and will not be going crazy. I want to know what would happen then. What would I find out about myself? How will I view life after? I think...

Love Sonnet XVII
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you...
