Selected Quotes by Writer Jerome David Salinger:
"You asked me how I get out of the final dimensions when I feel like it. I certainly do not use logic when I do it. Logic is the first thing you need to get rid of."
"Advertising is a terrible invasion of my personal life. I love to write. I live to write. But I write only for myself and my enjoyment."
"I would just like to be the catcher in the rye field, that's all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I would really like to be."
"It's funny. All you have to do is say something no one will understand, and they'll do almost anything you want them to."
