It seemed as if some subtle current of recognition had passed between them... not as if they had met before... but as if they had come close several times until finally an impatient Fate had forced their paths to intersect.

About This Quote

The quote above was written by J. D. Salinger in his novella, The Catcher in the Rye. This is a story of a young man named Holden Caulfield who stands out from his peers and one who also seems to fit in with the people around him.

One day while at school, Holden was caught kissing the head cheerleader. He did not care about what anyone else thought and never seemed to care about anything he did. When we compare Holden to this quote we see that the way we react to different situations can say a lot about who we are as people.

 Holden Caulfield does not seem to care what others think of him at all, yet this quote has more depth to it than it may first appear.
