J. D. Salinger
Sensitive. That killed me. That guy Morrow was about as sensitive as a toilet seat.
J. D. Salinger
That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any.
J. D. Salinger
One day a long time from now you'll cease to care anymore whom you please or what anybody has to say about you. That's when you'll finally produce the work you're capable of.
J. D. Salinger
You take somebody that cries their goddam eyes out over phoney stuff in the movies, and nine times out of ten they're mean bastards at heart.
J. D. Salinger
I'd never yell, Good luck! at anybody. It sounds terrible, when you think about it.
J. D. Salinger
She was a girl who for a ringing phone dropped exactly nothing. She looked as if her phone had been ringing continually ever since she had reached puberty.
J. D. Salinger
You can't exist in this world with such strong likes and dislikes.
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
