“Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“It's hard to tell the difference between sea and sky, between voyager and sea. Between reality and the workings of the heart.”

“A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. ”

“Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.”
