The Green Mile quotes

View Quote And you, Elaine. You'll die, too. And my curse… is knowing that I'll be there to see it. It's my torment, you see. It's my punishment for lettin' John Coffey ride the lightnin'. For killin' a miracle of God. … You'll be gone like all the others, and I'll have to stay. Oh, I'll die eventually — of that I'm sure. I have no illusions of immortality. But I will have wished for death… long before death finds me. In truth, I wish for it already.

That year I had the worst urinary infection of my life, and… that was… that was also the year of… John Coffey and… the two dead girls.

View Quote I've done some things in my life I'm not proud of, but this is the first time I've ever felt in real danger of hell.
