Jerome David Salinger słynne cytaty
Pamiętam, to było w niedzielę. Moja siostra była wtedy jeszcze maleńkim dzieckiem i piła mleczko, a ja nagle zobaczyłem, że ona jest Bogiem i to mleko jest Bogiem. Więc ona po prostu przelewała Boga w Boga, jeśli mnie pan rozumie.

“Do you know what I was smiling at? You wrote down that you were a writer by profession.”
It sounded to me like the loveliest euphemism I had ever heard. When was writing ever your profession? It's never been anything but your religion.

Raise their children honorably, lovingly and with detachment. A child is a guest in the house, to be loved and respected — never possessed, since he belongs to God. How wonderful, how sane, how beautifully difficult, and therefore true. The joy of responsibility for the first time in my life.

He was speaking, communicating, and yet not breaking the spell. I then broke it. Quite deliberately. "How can it be luck if I aim?" I said back to him, not loud (despite the italics) but with rather more irritation in my voice than I was actually feeling. He didn't say anything for a moment but simply stood balanced on the curb, looking at me, I knew imperfectly, with love. "Because it will be," he said. "You'll be glad if you hit his marble — Ira's marble — won't you? Won't you be glad? And if you're glad when you hit somebody's marble, then you sort of secretly didn't expect too much to do it. So there'd have to be some luck in it, there'd have to be slightly quite a lot of accident in it."
