With Love and Squalor

So so sad about the death of JD Salinger.
The Catcher in the Rye is, without a doubt, one of my favourite books.
And Franny Glass, one of my favourite characters in literature.

Quotes:

He said I was unequipped to meet life because I had no sense of humour - For Esmé, with love and squalor

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 - Franny and Zooey

How terrible it is when you say I love you and the person on the other end shouts back 'What?' - Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters

Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody - The Catcher in the Rye
