J. D. Salinger quotes (5)

I used to think she was quite intelligent in my stupidity. The reason I did was because she knew quite a lot about the theater and plays and literature and all that stuff. If somebody knows quite a lot about those things it takes you quite a while to find out whether theyre really stupid or not. It tooks me years to find out....

Boy when you are dead they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a god dam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you are dead? Nobody.

Some of my best friedns are children. In fact all of my best friends are children.
