some kind of trouble or something, to get right down on his
knees and pray to God. He told us we should always pray to God
- talk to Him and all - whenever we were. He told us we ought
to think of Jesus as our buddy and all. He said he talked
to Jesus all the time. Even when he was driving in his car.

into first gear and asking Jesus to send him a few more stiffs. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 3

a while next to the stairs and took a last look down that goddam
corridor. I was sort of crying. I don't know why. I put my red
