"That's all that faith requires. That we surrender ourselves to the possibility of hope."

'But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile.' - Dr Stephen Maturin
"We've been watching you from some time now, Mr Baggins. It seems you lead two lives. In one life, you're Frodo Baggins. You live with your 111 year old relative, you attend parties in the Shire and...help your gardener win the affections of a hobbit girl. In another life, you go by the alias 'Underhill', you carry the One Ring and hide from the Nazgul. One of these lives has a future...the other one does not." - Isyriel
"I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free."
I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really.
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
