If
you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably
want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood
was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they
had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't
feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 1, opening words
of book
Old
Selma Thurmer - she was the headmaster's daughter - showed up
at the games quite often, but she wasn't exactly the type that
drove you mad with desire. She was a pretty nice girl, though.
I sat next to her once in the bus from Agerstown and we sort
of struck up a conversation. I liked her. She had a big nose
and her nails were all bitten down and bleedy-looking and she
had on those damn falsies that point all over the place, but
you felt sort of sorry for her. What I liked about her, she
didn't give you a lot of horse manure about what a great guy
her father was. She probably knew what a phony slob he was. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 1
What
I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind
of a good-by. I mean I've left schools and places I didn't even
know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don't care if it's a
sad good-by or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like
to know I'm leaving it. If you don't, you feel even worse. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 1
Pencey
was full of crooks. Quite a few guys came from these wealthy
families, but it was full of crooks anyway. The more expensive
a school is, the more crooks it has - I'm not kidding. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 1
It
was that kind of a crazy afternoon, terrifically cold, and no
sun out or anything, and you felt like you were disappearing
every time you crossed a road. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 1
People
always think something's all true. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 2
People
never notice anything. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 2
Life
is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the
rules. The Catcher in the Rye Mr. Spencer in Chapter 2
I
live in New York, and I was thinking about the lagoon in Central
Park, down near Central Park South. I was wondering if it would
be frozen over when I got home, and if it was, where did the
ducks go? I was wondering where the ducks went when the lagoon
got all icy and frozen over. I wondered if some guy came in
a truck and took them away to a zoo or something. Or if they
just flew away. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 1
I'm
the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life. It's awful.
If I'm on my way to the store to buy a magazine, even, and somebody
asks me where I'm going, I'm liable to say I'm going to the
opera. It's terrible. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 3
