Guys share your best quote from Catch 22

>"Clevinger was dead. That was the basic flaw in his philosophy."

That's it. That's the meaning of life. Your philosophy isn't worth shit if you end up dead.

Truly a great man, woman, boy or girl.
Speaking of Daneeka:

>'A little grease is what makes this world go round. One hand washes the other. Know what I mean? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.'
>Yossarian knew what he meant.
>'That's not what I meant,' Doc Daneeka said, as Yosssarian began scratching his back. 'I'm talking about co-operation. Favors. You do a favor for me, I'll do one for you. Get it?'
>'Do one for me,' Yossarian requested.
>'Not a chance,' Doc Daneeka answered.
