Если девушка приходит на свидание красивая — кто будет расстраиваться, что она опоздала? Никто!

J.D. Salinger

Главное, что как только дойдет до этого, так девчонка, если она не проститутка или вроде того, обязательно скажет: «Не надо, перестань». И вся беда в том, что я ее слушаюсь. Другие не слушаются. А я не могу. Я слушаюсь. Никогда не знаешь — ей и вправду не хочется, или она просто боится, или она нарочно говорит «перестань», чтобы ты был виноват, если что случится, а не она.

Беда с этими девчонками. Иногда на нее и смотреть не хочется — видишь, что она дура дурой, — но стоит ей сделать что-нибудь милое, я уже влюбляюсь. Ох эти девчонки, черт бы их подрал! С ума могут свести.

There's a marvelous peace in not publishing, there's a stillness. When you publish, the world thinks you owe something. If you don't publish, they don't know what you're doing. You can keep it for yourself.

The room was not impressively large, even by Manhattan apartment-house standards, but its accumulated furnishings might have lent a snug appearance to a banquet hall in Valhalla.

No, there wouldn't be," Holden said. "It'd be entirely different." Sally looked at him; he had contradicted her so quietly. "It wouldn't be the same at all. We'd have to go downstairs in elevators with suitcases and stuff. We'd have to call up everyone and tell 'em goodbye and send 'em postcards. And I'd have to work at my father's and ride in Madison Avenue buses and read newspapers. We'd have to go to the Seventy-second Street all the time and see newsreels. Newsreels! There's always a dumb horse race and some dame breaking a bottle over a ship. You don't see what I mean at all." "Maybe I don't. Maybe you don't, either," Sally said. Holden stood up, with his skates swung over one shoulder. "You give me a royal pain," he announced quite dispassionately.

I think that one of these days," he said, "you're going to have to find out where you want to go. And then you've got to start going there. But immediately. You can't afford to lose a minute. Not you.
