The Catcher in the Rye

"Mothers are all slightly insane."

"I was wondering if maybe I was going crazy. Sometimes I think I am."

"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I want to go to school and all, but I don't feel like going into it."

"It kills me, it really does."

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

"Certain things they should stay the way they are"

"I don't know what I want to do with my life"

"I wish I could go home and live in those archives"

"I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life"

"She was a very nice, polite little girl"

"I really am. I'm a sex maniac"

"I hate actors. They're phonies"

"What I really felt like doing was committing suicide"

"I'm sick. I'm not kidding around"

"I'm a goddam sex maniac"

"It would be fun to take a vow of silence"

"I hate it when you're watching TV and somebody keeps asking you questions"

"I'd just as soon marry a girl that hasn't a lot of dough"

"I really do. I'm quite spiritual, even though I don't believe in organized religion"

"That killed me"

"It really does"

"I was born quite a long ways from here"

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

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

"I'm not too sure about it."

"That killed me."

"It really is."

"I really do have a very good sense of humor."

"That's the thing that really gets me about people."

"If I ever go back to school again, that's one of the first things I'll do."
