Joseph Heller Quote
A distant warm look entered Major Danby's eyes. It must be nice to live like a vegetable, he conceded wistfully.It's lousy, answered Yossarian.No, it must be very pleasant to be free from all this doubt and pressure, insisted Major Danby. I think I'd like to live like a vegetable and make no important decisions.What kind of vegetable, Danby?A cucumber or a carrot.What kind of a cucumber? A good one or a bad one?Oh, a good one, of course.They'd cut you off in your prime and slice you up for a salad.Major Danby's face fell. A poor one, then.They'd let you rot and use you for fertilizer to help the good ones grow.I guess I don't want to live like a vegetable, then, said Major Danby with a smile of sad resignation.
