Farewell to a friend
J.D. Salinger died today.
Thanks for everything, sir. Your books changed my life and without you I don't know what would have become of me as a person.

Thanks for being a friend =)
"The only thing you can do now, the only religious thing you can do, is act. Act for God, if you want to - be God's actress, if you want to. What could be prettier? You can at least try to, if you want to--there's nothing wrong in trying."
