“	Please boss, don't put that thing on my face. Don't put me in the dark. I's afraid of the dark.	„
	~ John Coffey's last words and his most famous quote.

“	I'm tired, boss. Tired of being on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. I'm tired of never having me a buddy to be with, to tell me where we's going to, coming from, or why. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head, all the time... Can you understand?	„
	~ John Coffey to Paul

“	He killed them with their love. That's how is every day all over the world.	„
	~ John Coffey shortly before getting electrocuted and his farewell to Paul

John Coffey is the deuteragonist of the 1996 Stephen King book and 1999 movie The Green Mile.

What Makes Him Love Exalted?

• He cured Paul's urinary tract infection.
• He gave Del and Mr. Jingles some of his own cornbread.
• He revived Mr. Jingles.
• He cured Melinda's brain tumor after the guards let him out.
• Although he was responsible for indirectly killing Wild Bill and subjecting Percy to a catatonic fate, it was out of divine punishment as he wanted to protect Edgecomb and other guards from Percy talking about what they did.
• He tried to reassure Paul that, despite the fact that he's about to kill one of God's true miracles, he has nothing to fear because he considers his execution as an act of mercy.
• Despite being nihilistic, he is not cynical nor misanthropic.
