1、It takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another.
强者救赎自己，圣人普度他人。
2、Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
希望是美好的，也许是人间至善，而美好的事物永不消逝。
3、I find I'm so excited. I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend, and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.
4、Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
懦怯囚禁人的灵魂，希望可以让你自由。
5、Prison life consists of routine, and then more routine.
监狱生活充满了一段又一段的例行公事。
6、These walls are kind of funny like that. First you hate them, then you get used to them. Enough time passed, get so you depend on them. That's institution alized.
7、I guess it comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying.
生命可以归结为一种简单的选择：要么忙于生存，要么赶着去死。
8、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 hem 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.
9、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 bull**** 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 ****.
10、Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.
希望是件危险的事。希望能叫人发疯
11、 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 you heartache because of it I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a great place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage an d made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man is Shawshank felt free.
12、 Here's where it makes the most sense. You need it so you don't forget. Forget that there are palace 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.
