The Catcher in the Rye

"O Apanhador no Campo de Centeio" pode não ser o título de livro mais atraente que você já viu na vida, mas com certeza tem um dos melhores conteúdos.

People always think something's all true. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 2

People never notice anything. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 2

"Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry." ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 24, spoken by the character Mr. Antolini

Okay, páro aqui, senão vou acabar citando o livro inteiro.

S. disse...

Já li o livro diversas vezes, e cada vez que o faço sublinho a lápis as minhas citações favoritas... já são poucas as páginas em branco do meu Catcher in the Rye :)
