I think it’s the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border.

I guess I just miss my friend. – Red”
“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. – Andy Dufresne”
