Remember that hope is a good thing, Red, maybe the best of things.
It always comes down to just two choices. Get busy living or get busy dying.

My favourite film and book of all time I'd say, I adore the quotes from this book and it's something that never leaves my mind.
Especially the end, Red having hope because of Andy will always make me shed a tear.
