Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. - Holden Caulfield
One of the few things left in the world, aside from the world itself, that sadden me every day is an awareness that you get upset if Boo Boo or Walt tells you you're saying something that sounds like...
Веднъж се спънах и паднах - продължи тя. - Чаках го както винаги на автобусната спирка пред павилиона, но той закъсня, и когато се зададе, автобусът вече тръгваше. Спуснахме се да го гоним, но аз падн...
[...] Eso es lo que me gustaría hacer todo el tiempo. Vigilarlos. Yo sería el guardián entre el centeno.
When the weather's nice, my parents go out quite frequently and stick a bunch of flowers on old Allie's grave. I went with them a couple of times, but I cut it out. In the first place, I don't enjoy s...

I felt like praying or something, when I was in bed, but I couldn't do it. I can't always pray when I feel like it. In the first place, I'm sort of an atheist. I like Jesus and all, but I don't care t...
I don't like any shows very much, if you want to know the truth. They're not as bad as movies, but they're certainly nothing to rave about. In the first place, I hate actors. They never act like peopl...
His date kept saying to him, How horrible . . . Don't, darling. Please, don't. Not here. Imagine giving somebody a feel and telling them about a guy committing suicide at the same time! They killed me...
