“Just because I like applause and people to rave about me, doesn’t make it right. I’m ashamed of it. I’m sick of it. I’m sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody. I’m sick of myself and everybody else that wants to make some kind of a splash.”
—Franny and Zooey, J.D. Salinger(via Into the Silent Land: A Guide to the Christian Practice of Contemplation)
