“Oh, gentlemen, do you know, perhaps I consider myself an intelligent man, only because all my life I have been able neither to begin nor to finish anything. Granted I am a babbler, a harmless vexatious babbler, like all of us.

― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from the Underground

“I didn't care what kind of a job it was, though. Just so people didn't know me and I didn't know anybody.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“I got up and went over and looked out the window. I felt so lonesome, all of a sudden. I almost wished I was dead.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
