"Shawshank's Redemption" classic lines

Life can be boiled down to a simple choice: either live or die.
Cowardice imprisons the soul of a person, hoping to make you feel free, the strong will save themselves, and the saints will help others.
Strong people can only redeem themselves, and great people can save others.
Life can be boiled down to a simple choice: Either be busy with survival or rush to die.
Hope is good, maybe the best in the world, and good things never pass away.
Among all things, hope is the most beautiful; the most beautiful thing will never die.
Fear makes you a prisoner and hopes to set you free again.
In a quiet place, one can hear one's inner thoughts.
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
The story itself is the protagonist, not the person who tells the story.
Entrusting the mind to God and the body to me
"Hope" is a good thing, perhaps the best thing in the world, and good things will never die.
Use one hand to wash away the sins of the other.

    Self-salvation is the only way out. Lament that knowledge changes destiny.

    People who are accustomed to prison life but cannot accept normal life are both real and scary. Face life bravely and escape from your comfort zone.

The Shawshank Redemption quotes

  • Red: [narrating] I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile - prison life consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Andy would show up with fresh bruises. The Sisters kept at him - sometimes he was able to fight 'em off, sometimes not. And that's how it went for Andy - that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would have got the best of him.

  • Warden Samuel Norton: Do you enjoy working in the laundry?

    Andy Dufresne: No sir, not especially.
