Catcher in the Rye Quotation pt.4


Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody. ~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 26


This is a quote from Holden Caulfield its one of the last things he says at the end of the Catcher in the Rye. What Holden's basically saying is that once you tell a story to someone after you do you think about it and start to miss everything or everybody in it. I can definitely relate to this one as I have had this same thing happen to me. It's very common to talk about something, then really start to analyze it and think deeper into it. I'm really impressed with this quote you could say because I think its one of the smartest things Holden has said in the whole book. It actually, for one "makes sense",two isn't hypocritical, and three it seems like he actually thought about it before he said it. Looks like Holden maybe did take my advice after all hahaha. But, seriously folks this is a great quote, one that makes a whole lot of sense for me and most likely probably does for you too. Good job Holden! So, Kyle's advice for this blog thought, pretty simple, keep up the good thinking.
