- J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey
“‘We’re freaks, the two of us, Franny and I,’ he announced, standing up. ‘I’m a twenty-five-year-old freak and she’s a twenty-year-old freak, and both those bastards are responsible.’ He put his razor on the edge of the washbowl, but it slid obstreperously down into the bowl. He quickly picked it out, and this time kept it in the grasp of his fingers. ‘The symptoms are a little more delayed in Franny’s case than mine, but she’s a freak, too, and don’t you forget it.’”
- J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey
"My plans for old age? Age badly. Follow random pathways in the forest. Smoke a pipe. Become a hermit. Never shave ever again. Take Ecstasy on weekends. Develop a Valium habit. Read the Bible. Go to Tibet. Become an MP. Change my name. Laugh at economists. Start skanking dancehall style."
— Thom Yorke (2001)
