'Better is one's own duty imperfectly carried out than following perfectly the law of another. Better is death in the fulfillment of one's own law, for to follow another's law is perilous.' -The Bhagavad-Gita I think this connects to Holden very well because this is sort of what Holden went by, per-say... Holden kind of went by his own way, and did what he wanted to do when he wanted to, and he did not really want to do what the others, the crowd, was doing when they wanted to do it. "you can't handle the truth!"- a few good men. I like this quote because though out the book people tell Holden that he need to grow up, but he does not really want to grow up, and in a way, he does not want to "handle the truth", he wants to go his own way.
