He is so sick of phonies that with being a deaf-mute, people will be forced to write on a piece, pass it Holden, Holden writing his reply, passing it back, and so on and so forth, just to communicate with him. He wants to live in a partially-isolated cabin on the edge of a forest, just close enough to not be completely remote, so that people wouldn’t bother him. If he wants to get marry, he’ll marry a girl
