About This Quote
This is a very emotional line from a movie, A Walk To Remember. The main character is a girl named Landon, but her best friend is a boy named Jamie. Jamie has cancer and Landon is very upset with him because he doesn’t want him to die. They have been friends for a long time and he considers Jamie as his inspiration.
In this scene, they are lying in bed together, after they have been fighting all day, and Jamie looks up at Landon and says: “We live in a cruel world Isabel. I am only a man, and will not always live up to your expectations. And to me, that is a painful reality.
But we must never be cruel to one another. Let there be peace between us.”
