Quotes From The Book Catcher In The Rye Novels & Stories

He and I turn red in embarrassment, but nonetheless, he turns to me and wimnks an eye with a bright smile. I giggle, glancing at the quotes and sure of who wrote them. I silently turn my body to see him. The smile on my face making him turn red as he averts his sight between me and the teacher. He clears his throat and runs his hands against the side of his pants. "Ahem! Of course." He sighs and stands straight to read out loud. "No matter what happens, enjoy life because you only get one and it doesn't last long. . . . .-Epicurus." He smirks and squints his eye at me, making me roll my eyes and turn to face him.

"That's a quote, isn't it?" Her mouth opens, and her eyes widen on him. "Yes Master, it is." Gazing out of the window, he rubs his nose. "I know the reference, but for the life of me, I can't think where from." Charlotte's eyes are glossing.... What's going on here? Michael exchanges a look with me, shrugging and shaking his head. She almost whispers. "It's from 'The Notebooks of Lazarus Long.' taken from Heinlein's 'Time Enough for Love'."

He's not ugly, okay? Ryder tapped the fence lightly with her foot. "I have two things to ask you. Will you answer them?" Midnight bit his lower lip. "Depends on the question." "Sometimes tears can ease the pain in one's heart... This phrase is from "Who Killed Midnight", isn't it?" Even though she had calmed down, the redness surfaced on her face again from embarrassment. Only after hearing the young man use another phrase from that book, did she remember where the first one was from.

he lifted the book slightly and I saw the title, it was The Sun Also Rises by Ernerst Hemingway. “Oh, I love that book,” I chimed. “I read it last year. I especially love the ending when—” “Stop! Don’t spoil it!” he said quickly. “I’m still on chapter two,” “Which one is that?” “It’s where Cohn was like, I can't stand it to think my life is going so fast and I'm not really living it. And then Jake was like, nobody ever lives their life all the way up except bull-fighters,”

I muttered to myself, keeping the bottle back into the fridge. "All girls are bitches." His voice came. I guess I wasn't speaking to myself. I walked outside, sitting on the chair in front of his. "That's your personal quote, isn't it?" "Yep." He removed a book from the bag and placed it on the table, effectively shutting down the topic.

Getting it, he began to flip the pages of the big book that could be mistaken for an encyclopedia. His eyes stumbled on a quote by Martin Luther King Jr. It said: "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." He raised his eyes from the quote, and his brain began to process the words, mechanically. Then a question popped up: What am I silent about? Anderson quickly hopped down from his bed. He took a jotter and began to scribble, quickly. Done, he skedaddled his eyes through what he'd written. He checked the calendar on his phone; two weeks till next month.

“You don’t exactly give off the warm and approachable vibe.” “That’s because I’m not warm,” he said flatly. “But I am human.” That made me pause. It was the first time he’d said it so directly. As if he needed me to hear it. To believe it. “Do you remember what you read here?” I asked softly. “Mostly old classics. Steinbeck. Hemingway. My mother was obsessed with making me ‘well-read.’” He made air quotes. “Said a man who could understand words could understand people.”

"It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace." ~Chuck Palahniuk "My testimony exposed what had happened to me to the eyes of the rest of the world, maybe it was not the whole world, but everyone around me knew what had happened to me and it wasn't a great thing. I was label 'the beautiful boy' because at trial when I was put on the stand, I told the court that my uncle called me beautiful whenever he touched me and that was the beginning of my next nightmare."

Just then a quote caught my attention, You may think you are useless but the small stars still give lights to people who don't have any. That quote was so touching and true. Well literally it's true. It was as if the writer was talking to me. Before I could stop myself I turned back to the hoody boy and called him. "Hey Kevin." "Yes?" I slowly looked up at me. He had an unsure look on his face. "Did you draw and wrote all these quotes?" I asked. He nodded and I smiled. "Thank you." I said and beamed more at him. "I needed it." With that I turned to my front. I don't want to see the look he'll give to me next.

“This isn’t how I planned my life.” How it would affect my life was flooding my head. I couldn't cope, i held my head for it not to fall “Life is what happens when you make other plans,” Lou quoted. I frowned. “I don’t remember who said that, but it’s absolutely true.” She gave me a long, smiling look. “You’ll make a wonderful mother.”
