来吧!我的朋友.寻找更新的世界尚为时不晚。我决心已定，要驶过夕阳的尽头。尽管我们不再有昔日的伟力，可以震天撼地，我们仍然有着同样的英雄般的心。虽为时光命运摧残，但坚强意志依然，去拼搏，去探索，去发现，永不屈服。

《死亡诗社》经典台词
Carpe diem seize the day 及时行乐
"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 rout all that was not life...
and not ,when I came to die, discover that I had not lived...
我步入丛林因为我希望活得有意义 ...
我希望活得深刻汲取生命所有的精髓！
把非生命的一切全都击溃 ...
以免在我生命终结时，发现自己从来没有活过 ... （梭罗）
The Dead Poets were dedicated to “sucking the marrow out of life”
古诗人都致力于“汲取生命中的精髓”。
Thoreau Whitman Shelley
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．
我们读诗写诗，并非为它的灵巧。我们读诗写诗，因为我们是人类的一员，而人类充满了热情。
医药,法律,商业,工程,这些都是高贵的理想,并且是维生的必需条件。
但是诗,美,浪漫,爱,这些才是我们生存的原因。
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 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.”
引用惠特曼的诗
啊!自我，啊!生命／这个问题总是不停地出现／毫无信仰的人群川流不息／城市充斥着愚昧／生活在其中有什么意义／啊！自我！啊！生命！／回答因为你的存在／让生命存在，使其合一／因为富有生命活力的戏剧在继续／因为你可以奉献一篇诗歌／因为富有生命活力的戏剧在继续／因为你可以奉献一篇诗歌。
