Quote #1
"'You could plant an item like that rock-hammer in somebody's skull,' I remarked. 'I have no enemies here,' he said quietly. 'No?' I smiled. 'Wait awhile.'" (55)
You could look at this as foreshadowing for all the horrible things that Andy's going to experience in prison…he doesn't really seem to know what he's in for. But at the same time, it also shows how confident he is about facing his sentence and the torments that awaited him, and how little they're actually going to affect him.
Quote #2
"His lower lip was swelled up so big it looked like a summer sausage, his right eye was swollen half-shut, and there was an ugly washboard scrape across one cheek. He was having his troubles with the sisters, all right, but he never mentioned them." (72)
Okay, so he's getting beaten up a lot. But he's also enduring it and not saying anything about it to anyone. This might suggest that physical suffering is a lot easier to handle than mental suffering, or that by handling the mental suffering so well, Andy can tolerate the physical suffering pretty easily.
