To most of you, your neighbor is a stranger, a guy with a barking dog and a high fence around him. Now you can't be a stranger to any guy who's on your own team. So tear down the fence that separates you, tear down the fence and you'll tear down a lot of hates and prejudices. Tear down all the fences in the country and you'll really have teamwork. Long John Willoughby John Doe, played by Gary Cooper in the movie, Meet john Doe
-Robert Riskin, derived from a 1939 film treatment, titled The Life and Death of John Doe, written by Richard Connell and Robert Presnell
