10Captain John YossarianOtherQuotesQuotes

Captain John Yossarian
Captain John Yossarian: And don't tell me God works in mysterious ways, there's nothing so mysterious about it. He's not working at all. He's playing. Or else, He's forgotten all about us. That's the kind of God you people talk about - a country bumpkin, a clumsy, bungling, brainless, conceited, uncouth hayseed. Good God, how much reverence can you have for a supreme being who finds it necessary to include such phenomena as phlegm and tooth decay in His divine system of creation? What in the world was running through that warped, evil, scatological mind of His when he robbed old people of their power to control their bowel movements? Why in the world did He ever create pain?

11Doc DaneekaOtherQuotesQuotes

Doc Daneeka
Doc Daneeka: He has to be crazy to keep flying combat missions. I can ground Orr, but first he has to ask me to. And then you can ground him? No. You mean there's a catch? Sure there's a catch. Catch-22. Anyone who wants to get out of combat duty isn't really crazy.

13General DreedleOtherQuotesQuotes

General Dreedle
General Dreedle: You should see her naked. Back at Wing she's got a uniform in my room made of purple silk so tight her nipples stand out like bing cherries. Milo got me the fabric. There isn't even room enough for panties or a brassiere underneath. I make her wear it some night when Moodus is around just to drive him crazy. You should see what goes on inside that blouse of hers every time she shifts her weight. She drives him out of his mind. The first time I catch him putting a hand on her or any other woman I'll bust that horny bastard right down to private and put him on K.P. for a year.

26YossarianOtherQuotesQuotes

Yossarian
Yossarian: They certainly look beautiful now writhing in agony or stupefied with morphine, don't they? What a colossal, immortal blunderer! When you consider the opportunity and power he had to really do a job, and then look at the stupid ugly little mess He made of it instead, His sheer incompetence is almost staggering. It's obvious. He never met a payroll. Why, no self-respecting businessman would hire a bungler like Him as even a shipping clerk!
