“I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all… I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“It must have been then that I began to lose faith in reasonable argument as the sole measure of truth.”
― Margaret Atwood, Bluebeard's Egg

― Scott Westerfeld, Pretties

“Religious people of any serious kind made her nervous: they were like men in raincoats who might or might not be flashers.”
― Margaret Atwood, Bluebeard's Egg
