John Lee

“I don't have to listen to rumors about a man when I can judge him for myself.”
― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

“They say The Pacific has no memory. That's where I want to live the rest of my life. A warm place with no memory.”
― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

“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.”
― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

“Andy was the part of me they could never lock up, the part of me that will rejoice when the gates finally open for me and I walk out in my cheap suit with my twenty dollars of mad-money in my pocket. That part of me will rejoice no matter how old and broken and scared the rest of me is. I guess it's just that Andy had more of that part than me, and used it better. -Red”
― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption
