Excerpt from The Catcher in the Rye

1. I have such a shortcoming that I don't care about losing anything. It seems that there has never been anything good to lose, and it will be anxious as hell.

In fact, each of us has experienced that era of complaining, which may be growth.

Every child is full of honest or romantic ideas when he is young, and then disappears as he grows up. This is a kind of sadness.

Anyway, I can't help thinking that there are so many children playing games in a big wheat field. Thousands of children, there are no adults around-no adults, I mean-except me. I'm-I'm standing on the edge of that damn cliff. My job is to keep watch there. If any children run to the edge of the cliff, I will catch them-I mean, the children are running everywhere, and I don't know where they are running. I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. I do this all day. I just want to be a catcher in the rye. I know it's crazy, but it's the only thing I want to do

My real favorite book is this kind. When you finish reading it, you hope the author is a very good friend of yours. You can call him at any time if you like.

6. A woman's body is like a violin, which needs excellent musicians to play.

7. I often say "Nice to meet you" to others, although I am not happy to meet them at all.

8. Unless they take control of the situation themselves, these people with high IQ don't want to have a high IQ conversation with you.

9. No matter what you do, if you do it too well, you will show it off inadvertently if you are not careful. In that case, you are not very good.

10. The sign of an immature man is that he is willing to die bravely for a certain cause, and the sign of a mature man is that he is willing to live humbly for a certain cause. .

1 1. If a beautiful girl comes to see you, who the fuck cares if she is late?

12. I swear to God, if I were a pianist or an actor or something, those idiots thought I was great, I would hate it. I don't even want them to applaud me. People always take the wrong hand. If I were a pianist, I would play in the fucking closet. It's kind of funny to say. I felt a little sorry for him after he finished playing. I don't even think he's sure if he plays well. I can't blame him. I think those idiots who clap desperately should bear some responsibility-if given the chance, they can destroy everyone.

13. I think what I want to do is to play dumb. In that case, I don't have to have any stupid conversations with others. What others want to tell me, they have to write it down on a piece of paper ... I want to make money to build my own cabin and spend the rest of my life there ... I want to make a rule that no one can do anything hypocritical here, and whoever wants to do it will leave.

14. The school is full of hypocrites. All you have to do is study hard and buy a fucking Cadillac when you achieve something. Then they make you feel sad that the football team lost. All you have to do is talk about girls, alcohol and sex all day. Everyone hangs out in a dirty little area every day.

15. When you are listless, people always talk about fun.
