Vintage Heller. Devastatingly prescient. Hilariously scathing. Too many passages could be written in 2019. Not really because Heller is prescient, either, but because past is prologue, and history repeats, and several hundred centuries hasn’t changed humanity all that much.
Peace on earth would mean the end of civilization as we know it.
Wisdom consists in knowing there is no such thing.
From men motivated by moral certitude, history teaches, no lasting good ever comes.
I’m going to give it high marks, but still rank it slightly below Catch-22 and God Knows, just because… Catch-22 and God Knows.
