"words and ideas have the power to change the world"
Meu primeiro contato com essa história foi com o filme, lembro exatamente de assistí-lo pela primeira vez com 14 anos, de como fiquei destruído com o final. Desde que eu soube que há um livro tenho vontade de ler, vcs não imaginam a minha surpresa ao descobrir que o livro foi escrito após o filme, por esse motivo eu acredito que a história poderia ter sido aprofundada mais. Terminei preferindo o filme mesmo.
"One reads poetry because he is a member of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion! Medicine, law, banking? these are necessary to sustain life. But poetry, romance, love, beauty? These are what we stay alive for!"
"force yourself to think about it another way, even if you know it?s wrong or silly. When you read, don?t consider only what the author thinks, but take time to consider what you think."
?I feel like I?ve never been alive,? Charlie said sadly, as he watched Neil go. ?For years, I?ve been risking nothing. I have no idea what I am or what I want to do. Neil knows he wants to act. Knox knows he wants Chris.?
?And don?t limit poetry to the word. Poetry can be found in music, a photograph, in the way a meal is prepared? anything with the stuff of revelation in it. It can exist in the most everyday things but it must never, never be ordinary. By all means, write about the sky or a girl?s smile, but when you do, let your poetry conjure up salvation day, doomsday, any day. I don?t care, as long as it enlightens us, thrills us and? if it?s inspired? makes us feel a bit immortal.?
