“ I'm sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody. ”
I'm sick of just liking people. I wish to God I could meet somebody I could respect.
~ J. D. Salinger
I am a kind of paranoid in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.
You take somebody that cries their goddam eyes out over phoney stuff in the movies, and nine times out of ten they're mean bastards at heart.
What I like best is a book that's at least funny once in a while. What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.
