| 9679269 | Every time I came to the end of a block and stepped off the goddam curb, I had this feeling that I'd never get to the other side of the street. I thought I'd just go down, down, down, and nobody'd ever see me again. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 582ebd1 | But I'll tell you a terrible secret- Are you listening to me? There isn't anyone out there who isn't Seymour's Fat Lady. That includes your Professor Tupper, buddy. And all his goddam cousins by the dozens. There isn't anyone anywhere that isn't Seymour's Fat Lady. Don't you know that? Don't you know that goddam secret yet? And don't you know who the Fat Lady really is?...Ah, buddy. Ah, buddy. It's Christ Himself. Christ Himself, buddy." Fo.. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 10223c9 | WHAT REALLY KNOCKS ME OUT IS A BOOK THAT, WHEN YOU'RE ALL DONE READING IT, YOU WISH THE AUTHOR THAT WROTE IT WAS A TERRIFIC FRIEND OF YOURS AND YOU COULD CALL HIM UP ON THE PHONE WHENEVER YOU FELT LIKE IT. --J. D. Salinger G | Gene Bedell | ||
| 04ed75c | When I really worry about something, I don't fool around. I even have to go to the bathroom when I worry about something. Only, I don't go. I'm too worried to go. I don't want to interrupt my worrying to go. | J.D. salinger | ||
| d3d17db | Once you get past all the Mr. Vinsons, you're going to start getting closer and closer--that is, if you want to, and if you look for it and wait for it--to the kind of information that will be very, very dear to your heart. Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know... | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 47c6f3b | And I hate to tell you,' he said, 'but I think that once you have a fair idea where you want to go, your first move will be to apply yourself in school. You'll have to. You're a student - whether the idea appeals to you or not. You're in love with knowledge. And I think you'll find, once you get past all the Mr Vineses and their Oral Comp-' 'Mr Vinsons,' I said. He meant all the Mr Vinsons, not all the Mr Vineses. I shouldn't have interrupt.. | J. D. Salinger | ||
| da676ae | One other thing I just thought of. One time, in this movie, Jane did something that just about knocked me out. The newsreel was on or something, and all of a sudden I felt this hand on the back of my neck, and it was Jane's. It was a funny thing to do. I mean she was quite young and all, and most girls if you see them putting their hand on the back of somebody's neck, they're around twenty-five or thirty and usually they're doing it to thei.. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 2056fa8 | What're you majoring in?" I asked him. "Perverts?" I was only horsing around. "What're you trying to be--funny?" | J.D. Salinger | ||
| bdfd7db | God, how I hate it when somebody yells "Good luck!" at me when I'm leaving somewhere. It's depressing." | J.D. Salinger | ||
| b13d428 | Women kill me. They really do. I don't mean I'm oversexed or anything like that - although I am quite sexy. I just like them, I mean. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 4ba22b2 | As J.D. Salinger's character Seymour says in Franny and Zooey, "This happiness is strong stuff!" Happiness is the strongest stuff in the world. It is more energizing than a cup of hot espresso on a cold morning. It is more mind-expanding than a dose of acid. It is more intoxicating than a glass of champagne under the stars." | Steve Chandler | ||
| 484b9f3 | If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told an.. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| db76941 | Samo se nadiavam edin den - za predpochitane, kogato i dvamata sme m'rtvo piiani - da si pogovorim za tova. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 083f66c | But it was worth it. The blonde was some dancer. She was one of the best dancers I ever danced with. I'm not kidding, some of these very stupid girls can really knock you out on a dance floor. You take a really smart girl, and half the time she's trying to lead you around the dance floor, or else she's such a lousy dancer, the best thing to do is stay at the table and just get drunk with her. | J. D. Salinger | ||
| 2f7bc1d | I 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. | J. D. Salinger | ||
| 782535e | Az ne s'm tv'rde obshchitelen anturazh -- kaza tia i me pogledna da vidi dali znam znachenieto na tazi duma. Az s nishcho ne i dadokh da razbere tova. -- No doidokh pri vas samo zashchoto mi se vidiakhte kraino samoten. Vie imate kraino chuvstvitelno litse. | J.D. Salinger | ||

| c7af980 | Fame Shark is American Psycho meets Call It Sleep. A no-holds -barred saga of the extremes a human being can go to in his or her quest for attention. Young has the precocity and audacity of Shelley and the fearlessness of Philippe Petit. | bret-easton-ellis fearlessness shelley | Francis Levy | |

| 92599f7 | where there was nature and earth, life and water, I saw a desert landscape that was unending, resembling some sort of crater, so devoid of reason and light and spirit that the mind could not grasp it on any sort of conscious level and if you came close the mind would reel backward, unable to take it in. It was a vision so clear and real and vital to me that in its purity it was almost abstract. This was what I could understand, this was how.. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| 6c9bc1e | Is that your real name? Does it really matter? It makes me wonder what else is not real. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||

| 951c5f3 | And it doesnt really matter if intelligence exists because it is really about the look, the idea of a girl like this, the promise of sex. It's all about the lure. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| d291161 | I kiss her on the mouth. She looks around nervously. I watch her reflection in the BMW. "What's wrong?" I ask. "Not here", she says, but as if "not here" is the promise of somewhere better." | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| 9769691 | Later, as she's putting the dress back on, I notice a bruise on the side of her torso that I had'nt seen before. "Who did that to you" I ask. "Oh that" She says? "You did" | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| 0a91439 | She immediately moves into me and says she is sorry and then she's guiding me toward the bedroom and this is the way I always wanted the scene to play out and then it does and it has to because it doesnt really work for me unless it happens like this. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||

| e3d3db5 | Oh come on, don't look that way. You have nothing to be ashamed of." "I'm not," she says, trying to act casual. "I just want to know if you're disappointed in me for admitting this." How could she ever understand that there isn't any way I could be disappointed since I no longer find anything worth looking forward to? "You don't know much about me, do you?" I ask teasingly." | Bret Easton Ellis | ||

Is it a sorbet? Is your lithium really a sorbet?" | Bret Easton Ellis | ||

| fc70c59 | Nothing was affirmative, the term 'generosity of spirit,' applied to nothing, was a cliche, was some kind of bad joke. Sex is mathematics. Individuality no longer an issue. What does intelligence signify? Define reason. Desire--meaningless. Intellect is not a cure. Justice is dead. Fear, recrimination, innocence, sympathy, guilt, waste, failure, grief, were things, emotions, that no one really felt anymore. Reflection is useless, the world .. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
