Carlos Eire, Quote "Waiting for Snow in Havana".

“The world changed while I slept, and much to my surprise, no one had consulted me. That’s how it would always be from that day forward. Of course, that’s the way it had been all along. I just didn’t know it until morning. Surprise upon surprise : some good, some evil, most somewhere in between. And always without my consent." - Carlos Eire, “Waiting for Snow in Havana”

The Catcher In The Rye, Quote.

"I was half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. Girls. Jesus Christ. They can drive you crazy. They really can." - Holden Caulfield, Chapter 10, The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger
