More From J. D. Salinger

In the latter sense, a man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them. he has a property of peculiar value in his religious opinions, and in the profession and practice dictated by them. he has an equal property in the free use of his faculties and free choice of the objects on which to employ them. in a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.

The most important loan to pay is your student loan. it's more important than your mortgage, car and credit card payments. you cannot discharge student loan debt in the majority of cases.

My feelings are not god. god is god. my feelings do not define truth. god’s word defines truth. my feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. and sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. when that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - i try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, i plead with god: purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.
Echoes Feelings Perception
One ideological claim is that private property is theft, that the natural product of the existence of property is evil, and that private ownership therefore should not exist... what those who feel this way don't realize is that property is a notion that has to do with control - that property is a system for the disposal of power. the absence of property almost always means the concentration of power in the state.
Mean Evil Politics
When the rich plunder the poor of his rights, it becomes an example for the poor to plunder the rich of his property, for the rights of the one are as much property to him as wealth is property to the other, and the little all is as dear as the much. it is only by setting out on just principles that men are trained to be just to each other; and it will always be found, that when the rich protect the rights of the poor, the poor will protect the property of the rich. but the guarantee, to be effectual, must be parliamentarily reciprocal.
Men Rights Political
As property, honestly obtained, is best secured by an equality of rights, so ill-gotten property depends for protection on a monopoly of rights. he who has robbed another of his property, will next endeavor to disarm him of his rights, to secure that property; for when the robber becomes the legislator he believes himself secure.

In culture after culture, people believe that the soul lives on after death, that rituals can change the physical world and divine the truth, and that illness and misfortune are caused and alleviated by spirits, ghosts, saints ... and gods.

I think god is something that people use to avoid reality. i think faith allows people to reject what is right in front of our eyes, which is that thing, this life, this existence, this consciousness, or whatever word you want to use for it, is all we have, and all we'll ever have. i think people have faith because they want and need to believe in something, whatever that something is, because life can be hard and depressing and brutal if you don't.
Depressing Believe Eye
I believe there is another world waiting for us. a better world. and i'll be waiting for you there.
Inspirational Believe Waiting
There is a way of living that has a certain grace and beauty. it is not a constant race for what is next, rather, an appreciation of that which has come before. there is a depth and quality of experience that is lived and felt, a recognition of what is truly meaningful. these are the feelings i would like my work to inspire. this is the quality of life that i believe in.
