About This Quote
This is a quote from the movie, “The Shawshank Redemption”. In the movie, it is a convict's final plea to his wife before he is executed. He asks that she not be upset with him for letting her down because of something that happened in his past or that he could not change. He assures her that he can look at the beauty of the staircase without being distracted by the fact that he can't climb it. To him, it was still beautiful because of what he could do - admire the workmanship without being distracted by his disability.
