《肖申克的救赎》中的一些经典台词如下：

1. "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）.

2. "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 institutionalized."（监狱里的高墙实在是很有趣。刚入狱的时候，你痛恨周围的高墙；慢慢地，你习惯了生活在其中；最终你会发现自己不得不依靠它而生存。这就是体制化）.

3. "Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free."（懦怯囚禁人的灵魂，希望可以令你感受自由）.

4. "A strong man can save himself, a great man can save another."（强者自救，圣者渡人）.

5. "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）.

6. "There is something inside ,that they can't get to , that they can't touch. That's yours."（那是一种内在的东西， 他们到达不了，也无法触及的，那是你的）.

7. "If you are deep in darkness, despair and pain, please do not give up looking for hope."（如果你深处黑暗，绝望与痛苦，请一定不要放弃寻找希望）.

8. "Red: Let me tell you something my friend: Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man crazy. 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, sorry, and stop wasting my time. Because I am not sure any of us are ever going to get out of here. But I'll tell you something else: the only thing that makes a life worth living is freedom."（瑞德：让我告诉你一件事，朋友：希望是件危险的东西。希望能让人疯狂。那个年轻人早已消失，只剩下我这个老头子。我得接受这个现实。康复？那只是个谎言。所以，你继续填写表格，对不起，别再浪费我的时间了。因为我不确定我们中的任何一个是否真的能出去。但我要告诉你另一件事：唯一让生命值得活的是自由）.
