Morgan Freeman, Shawshank Redemption

“I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about truth i don’t wanna know i would like to think they were singing about some thing was so beautiful it cant be expressed in words and make your heart ache because of it.i tell you this voice soared higher and farther than anybody in a Gray place dares to dream it is like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away for the briefest moment every last man in Shawshank felt free.”

From the opera ‘The Marriage of Figaro’, featuring Cecilia Bartoli and Renee Fleming performing the duet Sull’aria.
