“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading 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

“I told her I loved her and all. It was a lie, of course, but the thing is, I meant it when I said it. I'm crazy. I swear to God I am.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“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.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“I am 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 trouble with girls is, if they like a boy, no matter how big a bastard he is, they'll say he has an inferiority complex, and if they don't like him, no matter how nice a guy he is, or how big an inferiority complex he has, they'll say he's conceited. Even smart girls do it.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“You can't stop a teacher when they want to do something. They just do it.”

“I don't hate too many guys. What I may do, I may hate them for a little while, like this guy Stradlater I knew at Pencey, and this other boy, Robert Ackley. I hate them once in a while—I admit it—but it doesn't last too long, is what I mean. After a while, if I didn't see them, if they didn't come in the room, or if I didn't see them in the dining room for a couple of meals, I sort of missed them. I mean I sort of missed them.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“If you do something too good, then, after a while, if you don't watch it, you start showing off. And then you're not as good any more.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“What I really felt like, though, was committing suicide. I felt like jumping out the window. I probably would've done it, 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.”
― J.D. Salinger

“و الله ما طلعت شمس و لا غربت
إلا و حبك مقرون بأنفاسي

و لا جلست إلى قوم أحدثهم
إلا و أنت حديثي بين جلاسي

و لا ذكرتك محزونا ولا فرحا
إلا و أنت بقلبي بين وسواسي

و لا هممت بشرب الماء من عطش
إلا رأيت خيالا منك في الكاسِ

و لو قدرت على الإتيان جئتكم
سعيا على الوجه أو مشيا على الراسِ

و يا فتى الحي إن غنيت لي طربا
فغنني واسفا من قلبك القاسي

ما لي و للناس كم يلحونني سفها
ديني لنفسي و دين الناس للناسِ”
― الحلاج
