Submit thoughtsoffreedom: “The color of his pallor,... - Salingerisms
This is for all J.D Salinger fans, addicts, devotees et al.
For the people whose lives were changed by Holden.
For the people who intonate words to sound like Franny.
For true-life recluses.

No haters, naysayers,
and especially no goddamn phonies.

thoughtsoffreedom: “The color of his pallor, however, was a curiously basic white - unmixed, that is, with the greens and yellows of guilt or abject contrition. It was very like the standard bloodlessness in the face of a small boy who loves animals to distraction, all animals, and who has just seen his favourite, bunny-loving sister’s expression as she opened the box containing his birthday present to her - a freshly caught young cobra, with a red ribbon tied in an awkward bow around its neck.” ― J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey
