“John knew the best love stories were the ones that were never told. For no medium – no book, no poem, no play or movie – could ever tell a love story in its entirety, its full span and depth, from the exhilarating beginning to the tragic ending of all love stories. He didn’t mind if his life was forgotten – it had never occurred to him to want to be remembered – as long as he had truly lived, and to live life without experiencing one great love story was to not live at all.”
