Watching with an almost calm indifference, holding back my tears and controlling my emotions, is because I know how hard my heart is right now.


I don’t want to replace anyone, and I don’t want to be someone’s puppet and subordinate. I don’t want to force others and deceive myself. If I don’t have me in my heart, then all I can do is encourage you to pursue, and what I can do is fulfillment.


What if you would give me a chance? Maybe just give yourself a chance.


Perhaps there is something that can never be erased, and that is love.


Another way of expressing love is indifference. How difficult is it to turn indifference into love?

Dear John quotes

  • Savannah Curtis: The problem with time, I've learned, whether it's those first two weeks I got to spend with you, or the final two months I got to spend with him, eventually time always runs out. I have no idea where you are out there in the world, John. But I understand that I lost the right to know these things long ago. No matter how many years go by, I know one thing to be as true as ever was - I'll see you soon then.

  • John Tyree: There's something I wanna tell you. After I got shot, you wanna know the very first thing that entered my mind? Before I blacked out? Coins. I'm eight years old again on a tour of the U.S. Mint. I'm listening to a guy explain how coins are made. How they're punched out of sheet metal. How they're rimmed and beveled. How they're stamped and cleaned. And how each and every batch of coin are personally examined just in case any of them slipped though with the slightest imperfection. That's what popped into my head. I'm a Coin of the United States Army. I was minted in the year 1980. I've been punched from sheet metal. I've been stamped and cleaned. My edges have been rimmed and beveled. But now I have two small holes in me. I'm no longer in perfect condition.
