a really good quote

I never really liked Catcher in the Rye much, but this is a really good quote:

“Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behaviour. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them—if you want to. Just as some day, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry.”

-J.D. Salinger

I'm not going to break a promise to you by saying that I'll post more, but hey, the challenge of not saying it may motivate me. And I'm done with grad school apps (destroyer of worlds) for the time being so I may have actual time to blog.

For now, I'll just enjoy my desk, Elektra, and a Jamba Juice.
