J.D. Salinger Quotes
I Figured I Could Get A Job At A Filling Station Somewhere, Putting Gas And Oil In People's Cars. I Didn't Care What Kind Of Job It Was, Though. Just So People Didn't Know Me And I Didn't Know Anybody. I Thought What I'd Do Was, I'd Pretend I Was One Of Those Deaf-mutes. That Way I Wouldn't Have To Have Any Goddam Stupid Useless Conversations With Anybody. If Anybody Wanted To Tell Me Something, They'd Have To Write It On A Piece Of Paper And Shove It Over To Me. They'd Get Bored As Hell Doing That After A While, And Then I'd Be Through With Having Conversations For The Rest Of My Life. Everybody'd Think I Was Just A Poor Deaf-mute Bastard And They'd Leave Me Alone.
