Aspirar

«’(…) Colonel Cathcart wants to be a general and I want to be a colonel, and that’s why we have to send you home.’
‘Why does he want to be a general?’
‘Why? For the same reason that I want to be a colonel. What else have we got to do? Everyone teaches us to aspire to higher things. A general is higher than a colonel, and a colonel is higher than a lieutenant colonel. So we’re both aspiring.»

Catch-22, Joseph Heller
