John's Quotes

This page is all about John's quotes and phrases throughout the series. Originally, it was going to be included in his own wiki page but commentors on his page felt like it was taking up too much space.

All of this does not include dialogue that a character responds to John but John himself doesn't say anything, it clutters everything up (that's why Chapter II has fewer quotes and Chapter II Prologue doesn't have any at all). This page will not include audio files of John speaking since it's going to slow the loading time of this wiki page to a crawl.
