If they ever try to trace any of those accounts, they're gonna end up chasing a figment of my imagination.

That should be Bubbles Sig

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 better left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.

way too long for a sig but a great quote

Here's where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don't forget. Forget that there are places in the world that aren't made out of stone. That there's a - there's a - there's something inside that's yours, that they can't touch.

Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

These walls are kind of funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, gets so you depend on them. That's institutionalized. They send you here for life, that's exactly what they take. The part that counts, anyways

i read it, in a book. can you read, you ignorant fu(k?

Can you read?

The colossal prick even managed to sound magnanimous

I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then then, a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullsh1t word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a sh1t.

Hear my thoughts and fill your mind, experience my feelings and understand life, love and death

My eyes see further than the spoken word, they search the mind of the confused and define the soul

My thoughts are your unquestioned answers, I know not what you tell me, I feel what is unsaid and understand the meaning of the unspoken truth in your soul, through your eyes.

To see the worl through the eyes of those envied after, one has only to wake up and realize they envy after you
