Holden Caulfield

"That's the thing I like least about going anywhere new. You don't know anybody."

"It really does kill me."

"I really am. I'm quite spiritual, even though I'm an atheist."

"I'm the most terrific listener you ever saw."

"The thing is, it's really very hard to leave your room unless you're in some kind of good mood."

"Girls are terrific, but you have to be careful with them."

"It kills me, it really does, when people don't know how to act."

"The thing is, I'm afraid I'm a very sexy devil."

"I'm always saying things I shouldn't say."

"I don't exactly know what I mean by that, but I mean it."

"I really do. That's the thing about me. I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life."

"It's funny. It's very funny. It kills me."

"I'm quite illiterate, but I read a lot."

"The thing is, it's really hard to get rid of a girl. Girls are very hard to get rid of."

"I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all."

"Sex is something I really don't understand very well."

"I'm a very sexy bastard, I really am."

"I hate the movies like poison, but I get to looking at them anyway."

"I'm the most terrific listener you ever saw in your life. It really is the truth."

"I can't explain. It's one of those things I don't like to talk about very much."

"Almost everything I have tells something about my lousy childhood."

"I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff."

"Pencey Prep. That killed me."

"It really is. It kills me."

"I'm in the same boat I've always been in."

"That's the trouble with me. I can't get interested in things. That's really the trouble."

"I'm quite the sex maniac in my own way."

"It kills me, it really does."

"I'd probably do it anyway, though."

"What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours."
