John Winchester's Journal Quotes

“But sons have to be soldiers. And soldiers adapt.”
― Alex Irvine, John Winchester's Journal

“Maybe that’s the point of a diary. Keep your stories, your life, from dying. So that other people don’t forget.”
― Alexander C. Irvine, Supernatural: John Winchester's Journal

“Written in blood: In olden times in the West people used to say “I put my hand and seal” on a document when signing it. In the East this was literal in some cases. The emperor of Japan in ancient days “signed” important documents by dipping his hand in blood and putting a full bloody handprint on the page. In the history of pacts with the Devil, people were supposed to sign their names in blood. I have seen a couple of alleged pacts from earlier centuries and neither, as far as I can tell, was signed in blood, though they do bear signatures of people. Blood undoubtedly stressed the seriousness of the signing. You were giving away your soul. “The Blood Is the Life.”
