Joseph Heller Quote
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 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.
