Standing directive
“There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind.”

“That’s some catch, that Catch-22,” … “It’s the best there is.”

Joseph Heller, Catch-22 (1961), chapter 5
