Famous quotes containing the words point and/or missions:
“I am less disposed to think of a West Point education as requisite for this business than I was at first. Good sense and energy are the qualities required.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“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)
