Do it for the fat lady!

Always, always, always referring every goddam thing that happens right back to our lousy little egos.

There isn't anyone out there who isn't Seymour's Fat Lady.

if somebody at least listens it not too bad

I 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 while—I admit it—but 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.

It isn't very serious, I have this tiny little tumor on the brain.

You take somebody that cries their goddam eyes out over phoney stuff in the movies, and nine times out of ten they're mean bastards at heart.
