Alan Arkin as Captain Yossarian

From Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 : 

Yossarian, the bombardier, desperate not to fly any more missions in World War II Italy, says: 

“From now on I’m thinking only of me.”

Major Danby replied indulgently with a superior smile: “But, Yossarian, suppose everyone felt that way.”

“Then,” said Yossarian, “I’d certainly be a damned fool to feel any other way, wouldn’t I?”
