I am sure you would love this .... it spea...Casti.. I am sure you would love this .... it speaks about being institutionalized... (my mind is twinkling as i post this here)by the way it is from this movie... <br /> RED: Heywood, enough. Ain't nothing wrong with Brooksie. He's just institutionalized, that's all.<br /><br />HEYWOOD: Institutionalized, my ass.<br /><br />RED: Man's been here fifty years. This place is all he knows. In here, he's an important man, an educated man. A librarian. Out there, he's nothing but a used-up old con with arthritis in both hands. Couldn't even get a library card if he applied. You see what I'm saying?<br /><br />FLOYD: Red, I do believe you're talking out of your ass.<br /><br />RED: Believe what you want. These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. After long enough, you get so you depend on 'em. That's "institutionalized."<br /><br />JIGGER: Shit. I could never get that way.<br /><br />ERNIE: Say that when you been inside as long as Brooks has.<br /><br />RED: Goddamn right. They send you here for life, and that's just what they take. Part that counts, anyway. <br /><br /><br /><br />another one which i quite liked very much.... <br /><br /><br /> ANDY: Here's where it makes most sense. We need it so we don't forget.<br /><br />RED: Forget?<br /><br />ANDY: That there are things in this world not carved out of gray stone. That there's a small place inside of us they can never lock away, and that place is called hope.<br /><br />RED: Hope is a dangerous thing. Drive a man insane. <br /><br /><br />and yet another....<br /><br />ANDY: You're right. It's down there, and I'm in here. I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really.
