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

“I can be quite sarcastic when I'm in the mood.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

J.D. Salinger
“Written in ink, in German, in a small, hopelessly sincere handwriting, were the words "Dear God, life is hell." Nothing led up to or away from it. Alone on the page, and in the sickly stillness of the room, the words appeared to have the stature of an uncontestable, even classic indictment. X stared at the page for several minutes, trying, against heavy odds, not to be taken in. Then, with far more zeal than he had done anything in weeks, he picked up a pencil stub and wrote down under the inscription, in English, "Fathers and teachers, I ponder, 'What is Hell?' I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”
J.D. Salinger, Nine Stories

“I can’t explain what I mean. And even if I could, I’m not sure I’d feel like it.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

J.D. Salinger
“That's the whole trouble. When you're feeling very depressed, you can't even think.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
