J. D. Salinger - The Catcher in the Rye
























Every time i watch almost famous I become depressed due to the sheer amount of conviction in all the characters thoughts and actions. This book is the same. And there are some great lines about girls. And life.

1.You felt like you were dissapearing every time you crossed a road.

2.I'm pretty sure he yelled "Good luck!" at me. I hope not. I hope to hell not.

3.Almost every time somebody gives me a present, it ends up making me sad.

3.Women kill me. They really do.

4.She's quite skinny, like me, but nice skinny. Roller-skate skinny.

5.I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down.

6.People always clap for the wrong things.

7.Or you'd just passed by one of those puddles in the street with gasoline rainbows in them.

8.You figure most of them would probably marry dopey guys. Guys that always talk about how many miles they got to a gallon in their goddam cars. Guys that get sore and childish as hell if you beat them at golf, or even just some stupid game like ping-pong. Guys that are very mean. Guys that never read books.

9.He kept telling her she had aristocratic hands.

10."The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one." (Wilhelm Stekel).
