I was in Kenya when I read 'Catch-22,' and I associate this book that has nothing to do with Kenya - whenever I think of 'Catch-22,' I think of Nairobi.

D. B. Weiss

That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed. It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed.

Joseph Heller

There was only one catch and that was catch 22

Joseph Heller

There is what might be called a Catch-22 of hazardous occupations: The more hazardous the job, the more men; the more men, the less we care about making the job safer. The Catch-22 of hazardous occupations creates a 'glass cellar' which few women wish to enter. Women are alienated not just out of the fear of being hurt on the job, but by an atmosphere that can make a hazardous job more hazardous than it needs to be.

Warren Farrell

There's a rule saying I have to ground anyone who's crazy ... There's a catch. Catch-22. Anyone who wants to get out of combat duty isn't really crazy.

Joseph Heller

The presidents varied in the degree to which they cited the founders. Some, like JFK, LBJ, [Richard] Nixon, and [Bill] Clinton, cited them somewhat frequently, in the range of 100 to 200 times, though, regrettably, not in a thematic or notably profound or even interesting way. Others, like Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, cited them rarely.

Paul Kengor

A building does not have to be an important work of architecture to become a first-rate landmark. Landmarks are not created by architects. They are fashioned by those who encounter them after they are built. The essential feature of a landmark is not its design, but the place it holds in a city's memory. Compared to the place it occupies in social history, a landmark's artistic qualities are incidental.

Herbert Muschamp

I think life is so difficult to catch, it's so furtive, that a copy, a film, can in no way catch it and represent it.

Abbas Kiarostami

Catch-22's admirers cross boundaries - ideological, generational, geographical.

Christopher Buckley

'Catch-22' was a nightmare to make, and everybody was unhappy except me.

Mike Nichols

Socha Na Tha' was my first film and will remain one of my favourites.

Ayesha Takia

I tend to go back and forth between old favourites and "new" stuff, some of which could easily be by authors I've hitherto heard about but haven't had the chance to catch up with.

Gemma Files

Nobody has tried anything like this in Telugu cinema. 'Eega' is a landmark film.

Nani

When I read something saying I've not done anything as good as 'Catch-22' I'm tempted to reply, 'Who has?'

Joseph Heller

The fictional character with whom I most profoundly identified was Yossarian in Catch-22. Always did, still do.

Neil Cross

Every time I look at my mobile phone before bed it seems to say 22:22. I thought that has to mean something in the future. Ironically when it was happening I ended up scoring 22 goals for Coventry.
