J. D. Salinger
In my mind, I'm probably the biggest sex maniac you ever saw.
J. D. Salinger
You know, I'm the only one in this family who has no problems, . . . And you know why? Because any time I'm feeling blue, or puzzled , what I do, I just invite a few people to come visit me in the bathroom, and--well, we iron things out together, that's all.
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
Give me a story that just makes me unreasonably vigilant. Keep me up till five only because all your stars are out, and for no other reason.
J. D. Salinger
People are always ruining things for you.
J. D. Salinger

J. D. Salinger

J. D. Salinger
But I was afraid of the questions (much more than the accusations) you might both put to me.
J. D. Salinger
It was just terrible! And the worst part was, I knew what a bore I was being, I knew how I was depressing people, or even hurting their feelings- but I just couldn't stop! I just could not stop picking!
J. D. Salinger
I have scars on my hands from touching certain people.
J. D. Salinger
It was a very stupid thing to do, I'll admit, but I hardly didn't even know I was doing it.
J. D. Salinger
If you sat around there long enough and heard all the phonies applauding and all, you got to hate everybody in the world, I swear you did.
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
All morons hate it when you call them a moron.
J. D. Salinger
People always clap for the wrong reasons.
J. D. Salinger
She said she knew she was able to fly because when she came down she always had dust on her fingers from touching the light bulbs.
J. D. Salinger
Her joke of a name aside, her general unprettiness aside, she was, in terms of permanently memorable, immoderately perceptive, small-area faces, a stunning and final girl.
J. D. Salinger
Sensitive. That killed me. That guy Morrow was about as sensitive as a toilet seat.
