Joseph Heller

"He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt. "

"Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. "

"Success and failure are both difficult to endure. Along with success come drugs, divorce, fornication, bullying, travel, meditation, medication, depression, neurosis and suicide. With failure comes failure. "

"The enemy is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he's on. "
