Apologies for the late late post...
Identify X. From the book:
"There was only one ____ and that was X, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Y was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Y would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Z was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of X and let out a respectful whistle."
Bonus points for identifying Y and Z.

The book seems to be catch-22.. not sure of X,Y,Z...
This is from Catch-22. X = Catch 22? Y and Z might be Yossarin and Major Major coz I do not remember any other names from the book :)
X is catch 22. Y is Yossarian, can't remember who Z is.
X is indeed the rule "Catch-22" from the book of the same name. Y and Z are the characters Orr and Yossarian.
