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

feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. J. D. Salinger The Catcher in the Rye, opening lines, spoken
by Holden Caulfield

What
I like best is a book that's at least funny once in a while...What

it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend
of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you
felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though. J. D. Salinger The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield

Sex
is something I really don't understand too hot. You never know
where the hell you are. I keep making up these sex rules for
myself, and then I break them right away. Last year I made a

deep down, gave me a pain in the ass. I broke it, though, the
same week I made it - the same night, as a matter of fact. J. D. Salinger The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield
I
was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's
the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty...
you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where
the hell you are. J. D. Salinger The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield
Catholics
are always trying to find out if you're Catholic. J. D. Salinger The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield
