Thanks Mr. Salinger

I just finished a collection of two stories (Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymore: An Introduction) by J.D. Salinger and I wanted to share a couple of my favorite quotes:

Please accept from me this unpretentious bouquet of very early-blooming parentheses: ( ( ( ( ) ) ) ).

My atoms, moreover, are arranged to make me constitutionally inclined to believe that where there's smoke there's usually strawberry Jello, seldom fire.

...all we do our whole lives is go from one little piece of Holy Ground to the next.

Salinger is quite the inspiration, sometimes I wish I could live the recluse life he did, but not really, more I wish I could write deeply and genuinely the way he could.
