The Shawshank Redemption Flashcards
Warden Norton
I believe in two things: discipline and the Bible. Here you’ll receive both. Put your trust in the Lord; your ass belongs to me. Welcome to shawshank.
Andy
Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe, the best thing, and no good thing ever dies
Andy
I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying
Red
I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright
Brooks
The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry
Red
In prison, a man will do most anything to keep his mind occupied
Red
Rehabilitated? Well, now let me see. You know, I don’t have any idead what that means
Red
The hardest screw that ever walked a turn at Shawshank state prison
Red
I think he did it just to feel normal again, if only for a short while
Red
That’s institutionalised. They send you here for life, that’s exactly what they take. The part that counts, anyway.
Andy
The funny thing is - on the outside, I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook
Red
Andy Dufresne, who crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side
Red
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
Andy
I don’t waste time on losers, Tommy
Andy
Salvation lies within
Warden Norton
Let’s find something more befitting a man of your education
Andy
It’s a wonderful pet to have
Red
I find I’m so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it’s the excitement only a free man can feel
Red
I tell you those voices soared higher and farther anybody in a gray place dares to dream
Red
Hope can be a dangerous thing
