Movies / The Shawshank Redemption
Red: Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.
Red: 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.
Andy: Get busy living, or get busy dying.
Andy: Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
Red: Sometimes it makes me sad though-- Andy being gone. 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. But still, the place you live in is that much more gray and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
Brian Fantana: That was some crazy party. I am hungover.
Champ Kind: Tell me about. I mean I woke up and I shit a squirrel. I mean it. Literally. And the hell of it is- the damn thing's still alive. So now I got this shit-covered squirrel sittin' down in the office. Don't know what to name it.
Brick Tamland: Sorry, Champ. I think I ate your chocolate squirrel.
Brick Tamland: I ate fiberglass insulation. It wasn't cotton candy like the guy said... my tummy itches.
Brick Tamland: I pooped a hammer.
Brick Tamland: I love carpet. I love desk.
Ron Burgundy: Brick, are you just looking at things in the office and saying that you love them?
Brick Tamland: I love lamp.
Ron Burgundy: Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying it because you saw it?
Brick Tamland: I love lamp. I love lamp.

Learn to leave negative nelly behind and see the world as a brighter,more comfortable place to be!
If you create the space and the desire to have love in your heart as your top priority, you'll start to see that you have the capacity to make loving decisions, and to have loving reactions, and to become non-defensive, and to become a better listener . . . .
And pretty soon a little annoyance will come your way or someone will do something wrong . . . and you'll just find yourself forgiving them.
You'll find yourself not wanting to be thrown off-center simply to follow some negative train of thought that's going to bring you somewhere you don't want to go.
You'll find yourself able to stay in that feeling of love -- and when you do, almost everything else magically takes care of itself. . . . Love is the most important answer in life.
- Richard Carlson

Like leaves falling from trees, we float on the breeze of life...landing here an there,floating through experinces that make up this life
"I think about that sometimes, about how time sweeps us along and puts us in a certain place, where we're faced with one option or another, or with the option of not deciding quite yet. By chance, and by the choices we make, we leave behind us whole other lives that we could have lived, full of a different type of passion and joy, with a different set of problems and disappointments."

Get past grief,move beyond regret,no one is ever lost if u hod them in your heart
At some point in your life something awful will happen, someone you love will die or get seriously sick.
It takes time, but you must learn that when something like this happens, life goes on.
Learn to accept the fact that they are gone and move on.
Forget about the moment you lost them, and remember the wonderful times you had together.
But don't live the rest of your life in the past, if you do, then you too died the moment they did.
So remember, live and love, love and be loved.
That's all.

“In moments of discouragement, defeat, or even despair, there are always certain things to cling to.
Little things usually: remembered laughter, the face of a sleeping child, a tree in the wind-in fact, any reminder of something deeply felt or dearly loved.
No man is so poor as not to have many of these small candles.
When they are lighted, darkness goes away-and a touch of wonder remains.”
—“These Small Candles”

I know what it’s like to want to die.
How it hurts to smile.
How you try to fit in but you can’t.
How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside.

If cannabis were unknown,and bioprospectors were suddenly to find it in some remote mountain crevice, its discovery would no doubt be hailed as a medical breakthrough. Scientists would praise its potential for treating everything from pain to cancer, and marvel at its pharmacopoeimamany.”
