“Man steps on an ant when he can't catch the fly.”

“A man can't soar too high, when he flies with his own wings.”

“It's a sad day for American Capitalism when a man can't fly a midget on a kite over central park.”

“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. That's some catch, that catch-22.”

“There is no need for ants to have the ability to fly”

“I remember a man throwing me in the air when I was very little. He stands as tall as the sky, and he throws me up so high it feels as though I'm flying. We're both laughing, laughing so much that I could hardly catch a breath, and finally I laugh so hard I wet myself, but that only makes him laugh the louder. I was never afraid when he was throwing me. I knew that he would always be there to catch me.”
