Dubai (13): Interlude III




„... ,This fall I think you‘re riding for - it‘s a special kind of fall, a horrible kind. The man falling isn‘t permitted to feel or hear himself hit rock bottom. He just keeps falling and falling. The whole arrangement‘s designed for men who, at some time or other in their lives, were looking for something their own environment couldn‘t supply them with. Or they thought their own environment couldn‘t supply them with. So they gave up looking. They gave it up before they ever really even got started. You follow me?‘...“

[J.D. Salinger: Catcher in the Rye, 1951]
