“You think everybody does something for some peculiar reason. You don't think anybody calls anybody else up without having some nasty , selfish reason for it.
-Exactly, in nine cases out of ten. And this Lane isn't the exception you can be sure.”

“Sometimes, however, possibly when my Muse was being capricious, I set aside my paints and drew cartoons. One of them I still have. It shows a cavernous view of the mouth of a man being attended by this dentist. The man's tongue is a simple, U.S. Treasury hundred dollar bill, and the dentist is saying, in French, "I think we can save the molar, but I'm afraid that tongue will have to come out.”
― J.D. Salinger, Nine Stories

“He started to apologize for the fact that there were no chairs in his son's room -only floor cushions- but I quickly gave him to believe that for me this was little short of a godsend. (In fact, I think I said I hated chairs. I was so nervous that if he had informed me that his son's room was flooded, night and day, with a foot of water, I probably would have let out a little cry of pleasure. I probably would have said I had a rare foot disease, one that required my keeping my feet wet eight hours daily.)”
― J.D. Salinger, Nine Stories
