Holden Caulfield

"It's funny. It's very funny. But when you're in it, it's not so funny."

"I have terrible latent homosexual tendencies."

"It would be quite a phenomenon if I could come back to life after I was dead."

"I'm a pacifist, I really am."

"The thing is, I'd just like to be the catcher in the rye."

"I'm not sure what's wrong with me, that's the truth."

"I used to play checkers with my brother D.B. all the time."

"She killed me. She really did."

"I'm the goddam mayor of the whole goddam world."

"That really killed me. It really did."

"I just got more depressed."

"The thing is, I don't get too sexy, though. It really doesn't interest me very much, if you want to know the truth."

"It kills me. It really does."

"I was the only one in the goddamn car."

"I don't even know what I was running for—I guess I just felt like it."

"It's a phony world out there, believe me."

"I'd rather just stay dead. But I don't know. It's hard to say."

"I'm eighteen now, for Chrissake."

"I have a very good vocabulary."

"This is getting to be quite a drag, if you want to know the truth."

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

"That killed me. I'm telling you, that really killed me."

"I'm a real moron, I really am."

"It really does, it kills me."

"I'd just like to be the catcher in the rye."

"You'll see. It's going to be quite a phenomenon."

"That really slayed me. It really did."
