“Listen, I don't care what you say about my race, creed, or religion, Fatty, but don't tell me I'm not sensitive to beauty. That's my Achilles' heel, and don't you forget it.

― J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

“I'm quite illiterate, but I read a lot. ”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”

“God damn it, there are nice things in the world – and I mean nice things. We're all such morons to get so sidetracked.”
