This belongs to Jessie.
“Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person
who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human
behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and
stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally
and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records
of their troubles. You’ll learn from them — if you want to. Just as
someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something
from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t
education. It’s history. It’s poetry.“
- The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
