Ernie's
a big fat colored guy that plays the piano. He's a terrific
snob and he won't hardly even talk to you unless you're a big
shot or a celebrity or something, but he can really play the
piano. He's so good, he's almost corny, in fact. I don't exactly
know what I mean by that, but I mean it. I certainly like to
hear him play, but sometimes you feel like turning the goddam
piano over. I think it's because sometimes when he plays, he
sounds like the kind of guy that won't talk to you unless
you're a big shot. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 11
People
always clap for the wrong things. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 12
I'm
always saying "Glad to've met you" to somebody I'm
not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you
have to say that stuff, though. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 12
It's
no fun to be yellow. Maybe I'm not all yellow. I don't
know. I think maybe I'm just partly yellow and partly the type
that doesn't give much of a damn if they lose their gloves. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 13
The
thing is, most of the time when you're coming pretty close to
doing it with a girl, she keeps telling you to stop. The trouble
with me is, I stop. Most guys don't. I can't help it. You never
really know whether they want you to stop or whether
they're just scared as hell, or whether they're just telling
you to stop so that if you do go through with it, the
blame'll be on you, not them. Anyway, I keep stopping.
The trouble is, I get to feeling sorry for them. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 13
I
mean most girls are so dumb and all. After you neck them for
a while, you can really watch them losing their brains.
You take a girl when she really gets passionate, she just hasn't
any brains. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 13
I
wouldn't mind being pretty good at that stuff. Half the time,
if you really want to know the truth, when I'm horsing around
with a girl, I have a helluva lot of trouble just finding
what I'm looking for, for God's sake, if you know what I mean.
Take this girl that I just missed having sexual intercourse
with, that I told you about. It took me about an hour
to just get her goddam brassière off. By the time I did
get it off, she was about ready to spit in my eye. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 13
I'm
sort of an atheist. I like Jesus and all, but I don't care too
much for most of the other stuff in the Bible. Take the Disciples,
for instance. They annoyed the hell out of me, if you want to
know the truth. They were all right after Jesus was dead and
all, but while He was alive, they were about as much use to
Him as a hole in the head. All they did was keep letting Him
down. I like almost anybody in the Bible better than the Disciples.
If you want to know the truth, the guy I like best in the Bible,
next to Jesus, was that lunatic and all, that lived in the tombs
and kept cutting himself with stones. I like him ten times as
much as the Disciples, that poor bastard. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 14
I
felt like jumping out the window. I probably would've, too,
if I'd been sure somebody'd cover me up as soon as I landed.
I didn't want a bunch of stupid rubbernecks looking at me when
I was all gory. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 14
He
kept saying they were too new and bourgeois. That was his favorite
goddam word. He read it somewhere or heard it somewhere, Everything
I had was bourgeois as hell. Even my fountain pen was bourgeois.
He borrowed it off me all the time, but it was bourgeois anyway. The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield in Chapter 15
