"It's
really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they
seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in
spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." - Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl
"Anyway, I keep picturing all
these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all.
Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean -
except me. And 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 and all. I
know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be." - J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
"There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in."
- Leonard Cohen,
