That's a bold claim considering how many webpages there are claiming that it comes from Catch 22: https://www.google.com/search?q=heller+catch+22+%22paranoid https://www.google.com/search?q=heller+catch+22+%22paranoid.
On the other hand, my attempts to search for the word "paranoid" in the book on Amazon turn up nothing. And there is a semi-authoritative page that makes the same claim that you do, saying that the closest he found is a quote about a "persecution complex": https://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/07/09/paranoid/ https://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/07/09/paranoid/
Do you have more info?
- Nition 6y agoThe previous user is correct, that quote isn't in Catch-22. Nor is any similar sentence. If multiple sources are saying it is, they must be getting the idea from each other.
