Andy Dufresne

"Solitude is where we find ourselves again."

"Love is choosing someone, again and again."

"Happiness blooms from within, not without."

"Get busy living or get busy dying."

"Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can set you free."

"I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy living or get busy dying."

"Some birds aren't meant to be caged."

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that very existence is an act of rebellion."

"Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free."

"I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged."

"I'm the only one who can set me free."

"Dufresne's last letter to me, I think was the most beautiful thing I've ever read."

"I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair?"

"You need to get yourself a life, Red."

"I believe in two things: discipline and good time management."

"There's a place up there that's real."

"I'll meet you there."

"That's what I need. I need possibilities."

"Music is hope."

"Remember, Red. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things."

"Some men crawl and some men fight. Some men just give up."

"The most important thing is that I maintain my self-respect."

"To be honest with you, I'm not entirely sure how I survived in here."

"I'd rather be in here with you than be out there without you."

"I always liked Mozart. There's something pure about his music."

"I know what you're thinking. That I'm crazy. Maybe I am."

"Prison is just a state of mind."

"I need to feel alive again."

"You can't put a price on a friend."

"The truth has a way of surfacing."
