More than 20 years have passed since "The Shawshank Redemption" was released on September 23, 1994. It still retains its charm after so many years. Let’s take a look at the classic lines from “The Shawshank Redemption”. Hope it helps everyone. Classic Lines from "The Shawshank Redemption" Part 1

1. Life can be boiled down to a simple choice: either get busy surviving or rush to die.

2. The high walls in the prison are really interesting. When you first go to prison, you hate the high walls around you; slowly, you get used to living within them; eventually you find that you have to rely on them to survive. This is institutionalization.

3. In this world, there are some things that cannot be carved with stone. There is a place in our hearts that cannot be locked, and that place is called hope.

4. To this day, I still don’t know what those two Italian girls were singing. In fact, I don’t want to know either. Some things are better left unsaid. I thought they were singing some very beautiful and moving stories, too beautiful to express in words, so beautiful that it makes your heart ache. Let me tell you, these sounds soar into the sky and fly farther than anyone dares to dream. Like some beautiful bird fluttering its wings into our brown cage, making those walls disappear without a trace. At that moment, everyone in Shawshank Prison felt free.

5. You would say that he did this to please the guards. Or maybe it's to have a good relationship with us. And I think he just wants to experience what it feels like to be a normal person again, even if it's just for a short moment.

6. I have to tell myself often that some birds cannot be contained. Their feathers are so bright. When they fly away, you'll be cheered up by knowing deep down that it was a sin to lock them up. However, once they are gone, the place where you live becomes darker and emptier. I feel like I really miss my friends.

7. The things that make you sad, one day you will say it with a smile!

8. Cowardice imprisons the soul, I hope it can make you feel free. The strong save themselves, the saint saves others.

9. Hope is a beautiful thing, maybe the best thing. Beautiful things never die. "The Shawshank Redemption" Classic Lines Chapter 2

1. Don’t forget that the things in this world that penetrate all high walls are deep in our hearts. They cannot reach or touch them. That's hope.

2. Some birds are destined not to be locked in a cage, because every feather of theirs shines with the brilliance of freedom.

3. Hope is beautiful, perhaps the best thing in the world, and beautiful things never fade away.

4. Rhett: Listen, my friend, hope is a dangerous thing. Hope it can drive people crazy

5. Everyone is his own God. If you give up on yourself, who else will save you? Everyone is busy, some are busy living, some are busy dying. You are busy chasing fame and fortune, busy with daily necessities, stop and think for a second: Is your brain already institutionalized? Where is your God?

6. A strong person can only save himself, and a great person can save others.

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

8. Remember, hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever disappears!

9. I have to remind myself that some birds cannot be kept in cages. Their feathers are so beautiful. When they fly away... you will feel that it is a sin to lock them up. However, you will feel lonely when they are gone, but I just miss my friends...

10. I found myself so excited that I couldn't sit down and think quietly. I think only Only those who have regained their freedom and are about to embark on a new journey can feel the excitement of unveiling the mystery of the future. I hope to hold the hand of my friend across thousands of mountains and rivers; I hope the water of the Pacific Ocean is as blue as in the dream; I hope...

　11. Andy. Dudland: That's the point. You need it as if you don't forget it. Forget that there are still places in the world that are not fenced with stones. Forget that there is something inside you that is your own, something they can’t touch.

12. Rhett’s voiceover: We sit in the sun and feel like free people. Heck, it looks like I'm just repairing the roof of my own house. We are the masters of creation. And Andy - he squatted in the shade during this interval, with a strange smile on his face, watching us drink his beer.

13. I feel deeply guilty about what I have done all the time, not because I am here (prison), nor because I am trying 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. But, I can't do it anymore. That young man has long been submerged in the long river of time, leaving only an old man facing the past alone.

A new life? Just a lie! Boy, stop wasting my time and put your stamp on it. To be honest, I don't care.
