“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
