Quote #10
McMurphy: Well, as near as I can figure out, it's 'cause I fight and f*** too much."
McMurphy knows that his society can't tolerate the kind of life he wants to live. If he'd been born in the Old West, he might have been a pretty normal guy. But he's living in modern society instead and there's no room for his aggressive personality and lack of concern for other people.
