Quote by J.D. Salinger

"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me."

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

"Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody."

"It kills me."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
