The Catcher in
the Rye
J.D. Salinger

“I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What
I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start
to go over the cliff—I mean if they’re running and
they don’t look where they’re going I have to come
out from somewhere and catch them. That’s all I’d
do all day. I’d just be the catcher in the rye and all.”
About purpose

“Lots of times you don’t know what
interests you most till you start
talking.”

“I can’t explain what I mean. And even if I could, I’m

“Then I started reading this
timetable I had in my pocket. Just to
stop lying. Once I get started, I can
go on for hours if I feel like it. No

“I thought what I’d do was, I’d pretend I
was one of those deaf-mutes....If
anybody wanted to tell me something,
they’d have to write it on a piece of paper
and shove it over to me. They’d get bored
as hell doing that after a while, and then
I’d be through with having conversations
for the rest of my life.”

infatuated with someone,

them.

“I was trying to feel some kind of good-bye. I
mean I’ve left schools and places I didn’t even
know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don’t care if
it’s a sad good-bye or a bad good-bye, but when I
leave a place I like to know I’m leaving it. If you
don’t you feel even worse.”
