Quotes From "A Girl I Knew" By J.d. Salinger

Probably for every man there is at least one city that sooner or later turns into a girl. How well or how badly the man actually knew the girl doesn’t necessarily affect the transformation. She was there, and she was the whole city, and that’s that. J.d. Salinger
