Quote by Salinger J.D.

“We always had the same meal on Saturday nights at Pencey. It was supposed to be a big deal, because they gave you steak. I’ll bet a thousand bucks the reason they did that was because a lot of guys’ parents came up to school on Sunday, and old Thurmer probably figured everybody’s mother would ask their darling boy what he had for dinner last night, and he’d say, “Steak.”

“It worried me, this covering of couches. What could be so frightfully dirty that fourteen layers of linens were needed to cover it? Sensing this could be a test, I shifted slightly to see if someone might have placed a pea somewhere under the cushion that I was supposed to feel with my behind. Nothing. I guess I'll never be a princess.”

“There’s a word we learned in social studies: schadenfreude. It’s when you enjoy watching someone else suffer. The real question though, is why? I think part of it is self preservation.

It doesn’t matter if that enemy has never done anything to hurt you-you just have to pretend you hate someone even more than you hate yourself.”

“Han fyller sexton år idag, och hela sitt liv har han blivit retad och trakasserad. Utsidan, insidan, talet, adressen. Överallt. I skolan, i omklädningsrummet, på nätet. Det nöter ner en människa till sist, det syns inte så tydligt, för folk omkring ett mobbat barn inbillar sig att man blir väl van till sist. Aldrig, man vänjer sig aldrig. Man brinner hela tiden. Det är bara ingen som vet hur lång stubinen är, inte ens man själv.”
