Daily Dialogue — October 24, 2019

“Boys, you must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all. Thoreau said, ‘Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.’ Don’t be resigned to that. Break out!”

— Dead Poets Society (1989), written by Tom Schulman

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Teaching. Today’s suggestion by Marla Hanson.

Trivia: Tom Schulman’s script was partly based on his own experiences at Montgomery Bell Academy, an all-boys preparatory school he attended in Nashville, Tennessee, and his professor there, Samuel F. Pickering Jr.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Don’t we all wish we had a high school teacher like John Keating?
