“Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.”

“Once you've chosen a man, don't try to change him', I wrote with more confidence. 'It can't be done. More important-don't let him try to change you.”

“He is setting out to cure the world, she is setting out to save the world, but I have chosen to inspire the world. Each of us have chosen to try and do our part to change world. What have you decided to do?”

“Sometimes, if you want to change a man's mind, you have to change the mind of the man next to him first.”

“Women are the worst. They zero in on some guy.Oh boy, he's the one, gotta get me that one. So they do. Then they spend the rest of their time trying to figure out how to change him. Then if they manage it, they're not all that interested anymore, because guess what? He's not the one anymore.”

“Nurse Duckett found Yossarian wonderful and was already trying to change him.”
