You take a really sleepy man, Esmรฉ, and he always stands a chance of again becoming a man with all his fac โ with all his f-a-c-u-l-t-i-e-s intact.
J. D. SalingerIt's partly true, too, but it isn't all true. People always think something's all true.
J. D. SalingerI don't hate too many guys. What I may do, I may hate them for a little while, like this guy Stradlater I knew at Pencey, and this other boy, Robert Ackley. I hate them once in a whileโI admit itโbut it doesn't last too long, is what I mean. After a while, if I didn't see them, if they didn't come in the room, or if I didn't see them in the dining room for a couple of meals, I sort of missed them. I mean I sort of missed them.
