&ldquo;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&#039;s around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I&#039;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&#039;re running and they don&#039;t look where they&#039;re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That&#039;s all I do all day. I&#039;d just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it&#039;s crazy, but that&#039;s the only thing I&#039;d really like to be.&rdquo; <br /> ― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
