If you're not in the mood, you can't do that stuff right.
J. D. Salinger
She worries over the way her love for me comes and goes, appears and disappears. She doubts its reality simply because it isn't as steadily pleasurable as a kitten. God knows it is sad. The human voice conspires to desecrate everything on earth.
J. D. Salinger
It's funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to.
J. D. Salinger
Were most of your stars out? Were you busy writing your heart out?
J. D. Salinger
All morons hate it when you call them a moron.
J. D. Salinger
I knew it wasn't too important, but it made me sad anyway.

J. D. Salinger
Sleep tight, ya morons!
J. D. Salinger
I hate actors. They never act like people. They just think they do
J. D. Salinger
You can't exist in this world with such strong likes and dislikes.
J. D. Salinger
I ignored the flashes of lightning all around me. They either had your number on them or they didn't.
J. D. Salinger
I felt so lonesome, all of a sudden. I almost wished I was dead.
J. D. Salinger
She really started to cry, and the next thing I knew, I was kissing her all over - anywhere - her eyes, her nose, her forehead, her eyebrows, and all, her ears - her whole face except her mouth and all.
J. D. Salinger
If there's one thing I hate, it's the movies. Don't even mention them to me.
J. D. Salinger
I don't suppose a writing man ever really gets rid of his old crocus-yellow neckties. Sooner or later, I think, they show up in his prose, and there isn't a hell of a lot he can do about it.
J. D. Salinger
I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty... you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.
J. D. Salinger
But where does by far the bulk, the whole ambulance load, of pain really come from? Where must it come from? Isn't the true poet or painter a seer? Isn't he, actually, the only seer we have on earth? Most apparently not the scientist, most emphatically not the psychiatrist.
J. D. Salinger
It’s history. It’s poetry.
J. D. Salinger
After I go out this door, I may only exist in the minds of all my acquaintances…I may be an orange peel.
J. D. Salinger
It always smelled like it was raining outside, even if it wasn't, and you were in the only nice, dry, cosy place in the world.
