When does one conform to what the norms dictate? And when does he need to stand up for what he believes in? John Keating, the character played by Robin Williams in the movie Dead Poets Society, teaches his students in an unorthodox manner.

“What you talkin’ to, Willis?” Those were the words I always rememberd when I was still young and watching Diff’rent Strokes on TV. I can say that it was in fact Gary Coleman, a.k.a Arnold, who was my first great influence on one-liners and smart-alecky quips. Because I can still remember that, aside from the [...]
