J.D. Salinger died yesterday. I'm not that well read and don't pretend to be, but I always did love "The Catcher in the Rye". Pretty sure the phrase teen angst was created by those who were discussing the immortal Holden Caulfield, and of course, without teen angst, we would never have been priviledged to know about wizard angst at all. Anyway, the Five this week is dedicated to the recluse author, as I have identified five favorite Salinger quips below. To make this even a bit more fun, I've connected each of them to a figure in today's world of sports. Enjoy.
“I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life.”
“Mothers are all slightly insane.”
“Its really hard to be roommates with people if your suitcases are much better than theirs.”
“It was a very stupid thing to do, I'll admit, but I hardly didn't even know I was doing it.”
"Some people you shouldn't kid, even if they deserve it. "
Cheers,
TFAM
