“È una partita persa, comunque. Anche avendo un milione di anni per farlo, uno non riuscirebbe a cancellare nemmeno metà dei «vaffanculo» scritti sui muri di tutto il mondo. È impossibile.

“Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first one who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior.”

I re-read The Cather in the Rye at least once every two months. Not crazy, just miss Holden’s voice.

“I’m always saying ‘Glad to’ve met you’ to somebody I’m not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though.”
–J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
First edition of the author’s first book.
Since his debut in 1951 as The Catcher In the Rye, Holden Caulfield has been synonymous with “cynical adolescent.” Holden narrates the story of a couple of days in his sixteen-year-old life, just after he’s been expelled from prep school, in a slang that sounds edgy even today and keeps this novel on banned book lists.
It begins, “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 anything pretty personal about them.”.
