More quotes by J. D. Salinger
It happens to be one of those days when I see everybody in the family, including myself, through the wrong end of a telescope.
J. D. Salinger
I like to be somewhere at least where you can see a few girls around once in a while, even if they're only scratching their arms or blowing their noses or even just giggling or something.
J. D. Salinger
I know. I'm very hard to talk to. I realize that.
J. D. Salinger
It's so silly. All you do is get the heck out of your body when you die. My gosh, everybody's done it thousands of times. Just because they don't remember, it doesn't mean they haven't done it.
J. D. Salinger
Don't tell people what you are thinking, or you will miss them terribly when you are away.
J. D. Salinger
Sentimentality is loving something more than God does.
J. D. Salinger
I don't know about bores. Maybe you shouldn't feel too sorry if you see some swell girl getting married to them. They don't hurt anybody most of them, and maybe they're all terrific whistlers or something. Who the hell knows? Not me.
J. D. Salinger
The connection was so bad, and I couldn’t talk at all during most of the call. How terrible it is when you say I love you and the person at the other end shouts back ‘What?
J. D. Salinger
I’m just sick of ego, ego, ego. My own and everybody else’s. I’m sick of everybody that wants to get somewhere, do something distinguished and all, be somebody interesting. It’s disgusting.
J. D. Salinger
I kept picturing all these little kids in this big field of rye... If they're running and they don't look where they're going, I have to come out from somewhere and catch them.
J. D. Salinger
The worst thing that being an artist could do to you would be that it would make you slightly unhappy constantly.
J. D. Salinger
You don't have to think too hard when you talk to teachers.
J. D. Salinger
That's something that annoys the hell out of me-I mean if somebody says the coffee's all ready and it isn't.
J. D. Salinger
If sentiment doesn't ultimately make fibbers of some people, their natural abominable memories almost certainly will.
J. D. Salinger
Sometimes I see me dead in the rain.
J. D. Salinger
I feel overwhelmingly grateful to them, but I don't know what to do with their invisible gifts.
J. D. Salinger
Poets are always taking the weather so personally. They're always sticking their emotions in things that have no emotions.
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
I'd swear to God, if I were a piano player or an actor or something and all those dopes thought I was terrific, I'd hate it. I wouldn't even want them to clap for me. People always clap for the wrong things. If I were a piano player, I'd play it in the goddam closet.

Bessie: 'Why don't you get married?' Zooey: 'I like riding in trains too much. You never get to sit next to the window anymore when you're married.
