Joseph Heller: Cytaty po angielsku
“That crazy bastard may be the only sane one left.”
Źródło: Catch-22
“The wise man dies no better or more wisely than the fool. In what way, then, is the wise man wise?”
God Knows (1984)
“He was going to live forever, or die in the attempt.”
Źródło: Catch-22
“Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.”
Źródło: Catch-22
Wariant: Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity trust upon them.
Źródło: Catch-22 (1961)
Kontekst: Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three.
“… [A]nything worth dying for… is certainly worth living for.”

Catch-22 (1961)
Kontekst: There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle. "That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed. "It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.
In an interview for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation: "Joseph Heller - Closing Time" (1998) by Ramona Koval http://web.archive.org/web/20000306044602/http://www.abc.net.au/rn/arts/bwriting/heller.htm <!-- accessdate=2007-08-30 -->
Kontekst: The only wisdom I think I've attained is the wisdom to be skeptical of other people's ideology and other people's arguments. I tend to be a skeptic, I don't like dogmatic approaches by anybody. I don't like intolerance and a dogmatic person is intolerant of other people. It's one of the reasons I keep a distance from all religious beliefs. I think in this country and in Australia too there's a late intolerance in most religions, an intolerance, a part that could easily become persecutions.
We have some ultra-orthodox Jewish sects here in New York and I fear them as much as I would fear a Nazi organisation.
“The enemy is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he's on.”

“He knew everything there was to know about literature, except how to enjoy it”

Kontekst: Yossarian was cold, too, and shivering uncontrollably.... It was easy to read the message in his entrails. Man was matter, that was Snowden's secret. Drop him out a window and he'll fall. Set fire to him and he'll burn. Bury him and he'll rot, like other kinds of garbage. The spirit gone, man is garbage. That was Snowden's secret. Ripeness was all.
“Be glad you're even alive.'
Be furious you're going to die.”

“Well, he died. You don't get any older than that.”
