Quote by JD Salinger

“He put my goddam paper down then and looked at me like he’d just beaten hell out of me in ping-pong or something. I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him for reading me that crap out loud. I wouldn’t’ve read it out loud to him if he’d written it - I really wouldn’t. In the first place, I’d only written that damn note so that he wouldn’t feel too bad about flunking me.”

“Something else an academic education will do for you. If you go along with it any considerable distance, it'll begin to give you an idea what size mind you have. What it'll fit and maybe, what it won't. After a while, you'll have an idea what kind of thoughts your particular size mind should be wearing. For one thing, it may save you an extraordinary amount of time trying on ideas that don't suite you, aren't becoming to you. You will begin to know your true measurements and dress your mind accordingly.”
