Quote by J.D. Salinger

“Rudford lay on his back in the grass and watched great cotton clouds slip through the sky. Peculiarly, he shut his eyes when the sun was momentarily clouded out; opened them when the sun returned scarlet against his eyelids. The trouble was the world might end while his eyes where shut. It did. His world, in any case.”

“چیزی که دنبالش می‌گشتم یه جور احساس خدافظی بود. می‌خوام بگم از خیلی مدرسه‌ها و جاهای دیگه رفته‌م بی‌این‌که بدونم دارم واسه همیشه می‌رم. از این خیلی شاکی می‌شم. به درک که خدافظیش غم‌انگیز یا ناجوره ولی وقتی دارم از جایی می‌رم دوس دارم بدونم که دارم می‌رم. آدم اگه ندونه داره واسه همیشه از جایی می‌ره احساسش از خدافظی هم بدتره.”

“Madness Quote #8 Ask me something else, Sybil," he said. "That's a fine bathing suit you have on. If there's one thing I like, it's a blue bathing suit." Sybil stared at him, then looked down at her protruding stomach. "This is a yellow," she said. "This is a yellow." "It is? Come a little closer." Sybil took a step forward. "You're absolutely right. What a fool I am.”

“Muita gente já tinha chegado de férias e acho que havia mais ou menos um milhão de garotas por ali, sentada ou em pé esperando os namorados… Era realmente uma paisagem interessante. De certo modo, também era meio deprimente, porque a gente ficava pensando o que ia acontecer com todas elas. Quer dizer, depois que terminassem o ginásio e a faculdade. A maioria ia provavelmente casar com uns bobalhões. Esses sujeitos que vivem dizendo quantos quilômetros fazem com um litro de gasolina. Sujeitos que ficam doentes de raiva, igualzinho a umas crianças, se perdem no golfe ou até mesmo num jogo besta como pingue-pongue. Sujeitos que são um bocado perversos. Sujeitos que nunca na vida abriram um livro. Sujeitos chatos pra burro.”

“Mrs. Glass directed a long and oddly comprehensive look at his profile. “He’s a young boy not out of college yet. And you make people nervous, young man,” she said— most equably, for her. “You either take to somebody or you don’t. If you do, then you do all the talking and nobody can even get a word in edgewise. If you don’t like somebody— which is most of the time —then you just sit around like death itself and let the person talk themself into a hole. I’ve seen you do it.”
