I was eighteen when I first read Joseph Heller's stunning work 'Catch-22,' and was at that time close to being drafted for the fruitless and unenlightened war in Viet Nam.
I had earlier concluded that a war with Iraq would be a distraction from the successful and expeditious completion of our aims in Afghanistan. Now I had come to question whether the White House was telling the truth.
Jacob: The war between the sexes is over. We won the second women started doing pole dancing for exercise.
[history is written by the winners. And if the Nazis had won, future generations would understand the story of World War ll quite differently]
Maj. Gen. Worden: This war was *not* started for your private gratification, and you can be damned sure it's not being run for your personal convenience, either!
Adolf Hitler: The war is lost... But if you think that I'll leave Berlin for that, you are sadly mistaken. I'd prefer to put a bullet in my head.
Hilts: I haven't seen Berlin yet, from the ground or from the air, and I plan on doing both before the war is over.
[as an anti-draft riot takes place] Boss Tweed: Sweet Jesus, war does terrible things to people.
[going off to war] Samuel: I'll bring you back the kaiser's helmet. Colonel Ludlow: Bring yourself back. That'd please me more.
Duncan: There is a war on. How is it you are headed west? Hawkeye: Well, we kinda face to the north and real sudden-like turn left.
Yuri Orlov: They say, "Evil prevails when good men fail to act." What they ought to say is, "Evil prevails."
Anatoly Orlov: Is this how you want to be remembered? Yuri Orlov: [chuckles] I don't want to be remembered at all. If I'm being remembered, it means I'm dead.
Angel: My name is Angel. Vitaly Orlov: Her name really is Angel! Let's put her on the Christmas tree!
Jack Valentine: [to Yuri] I would tell you to go to hell, but I think you're already there.
Yuri Orlov: What a cargo crew at Heathrow Airport does in a day, took a bunch of malnourished Sierra Leonean locals ten minutes.
Yuri Orlov: I was the same man who was not good enough for you before, and I'm just not good enough for you now.
Vitaly Orlov: [in Russian] Oh God! Yuri Orlov: [voice-over] Always resort to your native tongue in times of anger. And in times of ecstasy.
Andre Baptiste Jr.: [Vitaly is seen grabbing a grenade from box] What are you doing? Vitaly Orlov: [his last lines] Something for Yuri.
Yuri Orlov: [Narraing the sex in the shower scene] Despite the other women, I always made love to Ava as if she was the only one.
Yuri Orlov: [Narrating] I never sold to Osama bin Laden, not on any moral grounds, back then he was always bouncing checks
Max Rockatansky: [pointing at his Interceptor car being driven by a War Boy] That's mine!
