Another nice Orwell quote, also from The Road to Wigan Pier:
"A middle-class child is taught almost simultaneously to wash his neck, to be ready to die for his country, and to despise the 'lower classes'."

"Yossarian had done his best to warn him the night before. "You haven't got a chance, kid" he had told him glumly. "They hate Jews."

"But I'm not Jewish", answered Clevinger.

"It will make no difference", Yossarian promised, and Yossarian was right. "They're after everybody."

I'm reareading this book currently... Cheesy

I love Catch-22.. it is worth re-reading several times.  Not a bad movie either.

I unfortunately never got a chance to finish it, was very busy around the time I was reading it.
Nothing could be as important as finishing to read this book. Go back to it this instant.
