“The thing is, it's really hard to be roommates with people if your suitcases are much better than theirs — if yours are really good ones and theirs aren't. You think if they're intelligent and all, the other person, and have a good sense of humor, that they don't give a damn whose suitcases are better, but they do. They really do.”
I think it is very interesting how Holden brings up ideas that I agree with, but in ways that I never thought of. The principle of this quote is that people always care about their belongings and if their things are better than everyone else’s. No matter how smart or attractive anyone else they will still care if you have something that is better than them. Holden represents this through his and his roommates suitcases. The way Holden explains things like this adds too the quirky personality that he has.
