1) QUOTE:The **phoniness** of society forces Holden Caulfield to leave it, but he is seeking nothing less than stability and love. He would like nothing better than a home, a life embosomed upon what is known and can be trusted; he is a very wise sheep forced into lone wolf's clothing" TITLE & PAGE:Some Crazy Cliff pg127 AUTHOR:Arthur Heiserman and James E. Miller, Jr. SUBTOPIC:phoniness

2) QUOTE:Everyone able to love in Salinger's stories is either a child or a man influenced by a child. All the adults not informed by love and innocence are by definition **phonies** and prostitutes. You take adults, they always look lousy when they're asleep with their mouths open, but kids don't They look all right. TITLE & PAGE:Some Crazy Cliff 132 AUTHOR:Arthur Heiserman and James E. Miller, Jr SUBTOPIC:phoniess

3) QUOTE:"It took some years before I realized the painful truth--namely, that Holden would probably say the same or worse about me. As Holden would have it, you can count the nonphonies on the fingers of one hand: Allie, his dead brother; Phoebe, his little sister, and of course Holden himself. Everybody else stands either suspect or convicted." TITLE & PAGE:"//The Catcher in the Rye// and All: Is the Age of Formative Books Over?" 955 AUTHOR:Sanford Pinsker SUBTOPIC:phoniess
