Catch

Famous quotes containing the word catch:

    There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind.... Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to.
    Joseph Heller (b. 1923)

    Maria: You should get out of these clothes immediately. You’ll catch your death of pneumonia, you will.
    Inspector Clouseau: Yes, yes, I probably will. But it’s all part of life’s rich pageantry.

    Until the day when, your endurance gone, in this world for you without arms, you catch up in yours the first mangy cur you meet, carry it for the time needed for it to love it and you it, then throw it away.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
