Sweaty-toothed Madman via Todd Anderson (Dead Poets Society)

In a effort to get myself more in the mood to write, I’ve been watching some of those “inspiring” movies all over again.  This is one of my favorite scenes from Dead Poets Society.  Everytime I watch the movie, this scene just makes me smile from ear to ear.

I close my eyes and this image floats beside me
The sweaty-toothed madman with a stare that pounds my brain
His hands reach out and choke me
And all the time he’s mumbling
Mumbling truth, like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold.
You push it, stretch it, it will never be enough
Kick at it, beat it, it will never cover any of us.
From the moment we enter crying, to the moment we leave dying,
It will just cover your face as you wail and cry and scream.
