“If a body meet a body coming through the rye. Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around — nobody big, I mean — except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff — I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's crazy.”

“Nuvažiavau anksčiau, negu reikėjo, todėl atsisėdau vestibiulyje ant tokios odinės sofos po laikrodžiu ir ėmiau žiūrinėti mergiščias. Dauguma mokyklų jau buvo paleidę atostogų, ir koks milijonas mergiūkščių stoviniavo arba sėdėjo laukdamos savo kadrų. Vienos
sėdėjo susikėlusios koją ant kojos, kitos — paprastai, suglaudusios kojas, vienų kojos buvo klasiškos, kitų klaikios, vienos atrodė liuks, o kitos tikros klizmos, jeigu arčiau susipažintum. Buvo gražu žiūrėt, na, žinot, ką aš turiu galvoj. Gražu, bet ir liūdnoka, nes
aš visą laiką galvojau, kas laukia visų tų mergiūkščių ateity. Na, kai jos užbaigs savo mokyklas ir koledžus. Faktas, didžioji dalis ištekės už visokių psichų. Už tokių, kurie amžiais nepristinga kalbos apie tai, kiek mylių traukia jo automobilis su vienu galonu benzino. Už tokių, kurie įsižeidžia kaip vaikai, jeigu prakiša golfą arba net ir tokį nerimtą, žaidimą kaip tenisas. Už visokių niekšelių. Už tokių, kurie neskaito knygų. Už baisiai nuobodžių tipų.”
― Jerome Salinger
