Quote for the Day – Joseph Heller

Josephy Heller, Miami Bookfair International, 1986“He never once took the name of the Lord his God in vain, committed adultery or coveted his neighbor’s ass. In fact, he loved his neighbor and never even bore false witness against him. Major Major’s elders disliked him because he was such a flagrant nonconformist.”  ~~ From Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
