one of my favorite movie quotes . . . from The Shawshank Redemption

I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged, that’s all. 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 is that much more drab and empty that they’re gone.

~Red (Morgan Freeman)
