The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause.
I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw. It's full of phonies. People always think something's all true. " The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause." " I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw." " If you really want to hear about it..." " It's full of phonies." " People always think something's all true." " I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all." “ It's full of phonies, and all you do is study so that you can learn enough to be smart enough to be able to buy a goddam Cadillac some day.” “ The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.” “ People always think something's all true.” “ I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw.” “ It's full of phonies.” “ I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all.” “ The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause.” “ It's really too bad that so much crumby stuff is a lot of fun sometimes.” " It's full of phonies, and all you do is study so that you can learn enough to be smart enough to be able to buy a goddam Cadillac some day." If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though. " The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one." The catcher in the rye. |
