Salinger help please - Buddy's quote-list wall

I found this list of quotes a few years ago and posted them on the old relapse board. Can somebody find them again and post them? I think they were listed in Franny and Zooey...but it's been a while.

Franny and Zooey is probably my favorite Salinger. Catcher is obviously great, but I can only read it about once every ten years or so. I won't type out all of them, but some of the shorter quotes are:
"It loved to happen." - Marcus Aurelius
" O snail
Climb Mount Fugi,
But slowly, slowly!" - Issa
"God instructs the heart, not by ideas but by pains and contradictions." - De Caussade
"The happiness of being with people" - Kafka
"Yes, Father! Yes, and always, Yes!" - St. Francis de Sales' prayer
