Joseph Heller frases

• Era milagroso. No era casi ningún truco, vio, convertir el vicio en virtud y la calumnia en verdad, la impotencia en abstinencia, la arrogancia en humildad, el saqueo en filantropía, el robo en honor, la blasfemia en sabiduría, la brutalidad en patriotismo y el sadismo en justicia. Cualquiera podía hacerlo; no requería cerebro en absoluto. Simplemente no requería carácter.

This allows us to be at ease with ourselves and in harmony in our relationship to others and to our planet.
