1. Don't forget that the world penetrates all the high walls, it is in the depths of our hearts, they cannot reach or touch, that is hope.

2. The high walls in the prison are really interesting. When you're in prison, you hate the walls around you; slowly, you get used to living in them; eventually you'll find yourself having to live by it. This is institutionalization. Shawshank Redemption classic lines.

3. Cowardice imprisons people's souls, hoping to feel free. The strong save themselves, and the saints cross people.

4. Reid: Listen to me, friend, hope is a dangerous thing. hope it drives people crazy

5. Hope is good, perhaps the best in the world, and good things never die.

6. Rhett's voiceover: We sat under the sun and felt like free men. Heck, I seem to be repairing my own roof. We are the masters of creation. Shawshank Redemption classic lines. And Andy—he squatted in the shade in between, with a peculiar smile on his face, watching us drink his beer.

7. This is the beauty of music. They can't take this beauty away from you.

8. Reid, hope is a beautiful thing, maybe the best thing. Good things never die.

9. I have to remind myself that some birds can't be caged, their feathers are so beautiful, when they fly away...you'll think it's a sin to keep them locked up, but, they're gone you will Feeling lonely, but I just miss my friends...

10. I find myself so excited that I can't sit still and think. I think only those who are free to embark on a new journey can feel the excitement that is about to unravel the mystery of the future. I hope to cross the mountains and rivers to hold a friend's hand; I hope that the water in the Pacific Ocean is as blue as a dream; I hope...

11. To this day I don't know what those two Italian girls are singing, and I don't want to know either. Some things are better left unspoken. I think they are singing some very beautiful and moving stories, too beautiful to express in words, beautiful to make your heart hurt. Let me tell you, these voices pierced into the sky and flew farther than anyone could dream. Like some beautiful birds flapping their wings to our brown cage and making those walls disappear without a trace. In that instant, everyone in Shawshank felt free.

12. I found myself so excited that I couldn't sit quietly and think. I think only those who are free to embark on a new journey can feel the excitement that is about to unravel the mysteries of the future. I hope to cross the mountains and rivers to hold a friend's hand, I hope that the waters of the Pacific Ocean are as blue as a dream: I hope...

13. I feel guilty all the time for what I did, not because I'm here (prison) or to please you (parole officer). Looking back on the detours I have taken, how much I want to say something to that stupid young man who committed a serious crime, tell him how I feel now, and tell him that there are other ways to solve the problem. However, I can't do it. The young man has long been drowned in the long river of time, leaving only an old man to face the past alone. Be a new person? Just a lie! Boy, stop wasting my time and stamp yours, honestly, I don't care.

14. Some birds are destined not to be caged, because every feather of theirs shines with the brilliance of freedom.

15. Life boils down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.

The Shawshank Redemption quotes

  • [after Brooks held a knife to Heywood's throat]

    Andy Dufresne: I just don't understand what happened in there.

    Heywood: Old man's crazy as a rat in a tin shithouse, is what.

    Red: Oh Heywood, that's enough out of you!

    Ernie: I heard he had you shittin' in your pants!

    Heywood: Fuck you!

    Red: Would you knock it off? Brooks ain't no bug. He's just... just institutionalized.

    Heywood: Institutionalized, my ass.

    Red: The man's been in here fifty years, Heywood. Fifty years! This is all he knows. In here, he's an important man. He's an educated man. Outside, he's nothin'! Just a used up con with arthritis in both hands.

  • Red: [narrating, referring to the warden committing suicide] I'd like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that bullet, was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him.
