Joseph Heller Quote
I used to get a big kick out of saving people’s lives. Now I wonder what the hell’s the point, since they all have to die anyway.Oh, there’s a point, all right, Dunbar assured him.Is there? What’s the point?The point is to keep them from dying as long as you can.Yeah, but what’s the point, since they all have to die anyway?The trick is not to think about that.Never mind the trick. What the hell’s the point?Dunbar pondered in silence for a few moments. Who the hell knows.
