Dear John Letter Quotes

“I've always thought of being in love as being willing to do anything for the other person--starve to buy them bread and not mind living in Siberia with them--and I've always thought that every minute away from them would be hell--so looking at it that way, I guess I'm not in love with you.

[Letter to suitor, R. Beverley Corbin, Jr.
20 January 1947]”
― Jackie Kennedy Onassis

“Forgive me for not being able to be with you.”
― Iris Murdoch, The Message to the Planet
