'Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying'

The Shawshank Redemption is a highly-acclaimed movie starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. Andy Dufresne is convicted of the murder of his wife and her lover, and sentenced to life imprisonment at Shawshank prison. Life seems to have taken a turn for the worse, but fortunately Andy befriends some of the other inmates, in particular a character known only as Red. Over time Andy finds ways to live out life with relative ease as one can in a prison, leaving a message for all that while the body may be locked away in a cell, the spirit can never be truly imprisoned.

Just watched it again. It is the only movie that I ever watched a total of 5 times. I absolutely love it and the quality acting of the two stars. It says so much about life.

One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies!

Reminiscent of dialogue from the pilot to Star Trek:
Dr. Boyce: A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on, and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away.
Captain Pike: Now you're beginning to talk like a doctor, bartender.
Dr. Boyce: Take your choice. We both get the same two kinds of customers. The living and the dying.
