J.D. Salinger Quotes
When I Take My Hand Out Of This Blanket," He Thought, "my Nail Will Be Grown Back, My Hands Will Be Clean. My Body Will Be Clean. I'll Have On Clean Shorts, Clean Undershirt, A White Shirt. A Blue Polka-dot Tie. A Gray Suit With A Stripe, And I'll Be Home, And I'll Bolt The Door. I'll Put Some Coffee On The Stove, Some Records On The Phonograph, And I'll Bolt The Door. I'll Read My Books And I'll Drink Coffee And I'll Listen To Music, And I'll Bolt The Door. I'll Open The Window, I'll Let In A Nice, Quiet Girl
not Frances, Not Anyone I've Ever Known
and I'll Bolt The Door. I'll Ask Her To Read Some Emily Dickinson To Me
that One About Being Chartless
and I'll Ask Her To Read Some William Blake To Me
that One About The Little Lamb That Made Thee
and I'll Bolt The Door. She'll Have An American Voice, And She Won't Ask Me If I Have Any Chewing Gum Or Bonbons, And I'll Bolt The Door.
