Give it five stars



, the first for classical philosophy,

the second for Norton's role,

the third for the soundtrack of the movie, and the

fourth for all poets,

the last one, to thank all the previous ones, in this darkest A ray of light brought by days.


Philosophy and poetry are the feast of idealists. The truth they exchanged with life and the verse watered with soul are stationed on the human body full of holes. When spring comes, they come back to life.

It's just an idealist's fantasy.



So many years ago, Shang Zhongmin gave Haizi his scruples to write poetry, and then abandoned poetry to become a businessman.



Life is trivial, and poetry is false and powerless

. The things we hate are changing with each passing day

- "Farewell"






who built an era without faith.

Leaves of Grass quotes

  • Bill Kincaid: I was born just a few minutes before my brother, Brady. He lived life on his own terms, indifferent to fear - either his own, or those of others. And, let's be honest, by any normal measure my brother was a criminal and a colossal fuckup.

    [laughter]

    Bill Kincaid: But, in the years that we were together, when we were growing up, he gave me the happiest freest times that I will ever know. I don't know why it took me so long to realize that. I left Little Dixie because of my own fears. My greatest regret is that I never told him how difficult that really was.

  • Rabbi Zimmerman: We are animals, Professor Kincaid... with brains that trick us into thinking we aren't.
