In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said: “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter - bitter,” he answered;
“But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart.”

“ Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That’s relativity.

“ I wonder if any of them can tell from just looking at me that all I am is the sum total of my pain, a raw woundedness so extreme that it might be terminal. It might be terminal velocity, the speed of the sound of a girl falling down to a place from where she can’t be retrieved. What if I am stuck down here for good?

#39: Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger
I am starting to find that the more I read Salinger the more I feel an equal amount of annoyance and fascination. This book is mostly dialogue and he is able to tell so much story just by showing a conversation between two characters, but at the same time I find those same characters to be utterly pretentious. It’s almost as if I loath myself for agreeing with some of their points all the while wishing they would just shut up. Is that what Salinger was trying to accomplish? I don’t have a clue. Either way, the book is surprisingly easy to get through. It’s a good travel read and nice look into the work of an author who has since cut himself off from the public realm.
My favorite all-time book! I buy a copy annually because I always tear it up from over-reading it. I used to get frustrated too, and still slightly hate myself for being soo much like the characters but I also kinda love that Salinger could penn it down sooo extremely well. I feel like it’s just one of those things that you either get or you don’t and if you do it takes a while to grapple with but it’s also kinda beautiful in a way. Just wait and see <33

“ And finally I twist my heart round again, so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside, and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be, and could be, if there weren’t any other people living in the world.
