"It's sort of well-known that anytime any catastrophe happens anywhere in the world, they can count on the United States for help."





"People hear that and say I'm being modest, but I am not a modest person, but I have to be truthful about what I'm doing and what I'm doing is channeling."





"But I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it. So how do you be good to life? You live it. "





"And some places you been before are so great that you don't ever mind going back. Some places you been before you don't ever want to go back, you know, like Montreal in the Winter."





"I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more grey"
-The Shawshank Redemption





“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies"
-The Shawshank Redemption





"There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit. "
-The Shawshank Redemption

"Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. "
