Quote #16
[Aarfy:] "I can just imagine what your father and mother would say if they knew you were running around with filthy trollops like that one. Your father is a very distinguished man, you know."
"I'm not going to tell him," Nately declared with determination. "I'm not going to say a word about her to him or Mother until after we're married." (26.20-21)
Nately is so in love with his prostitute that he is willing to keep his rich, influential parents from knowing about his dishonorable affair with a disreputable woman.
Quote #17
Yossarian felt sorry for Orr. Orr was so small and ugly. Who would protect him if he lived? Who would protect a warmhearted, simple-minded gnome like Orr from rowdies and cliques and from expert athletes like Appleby who had flies in their eyes and would walk right over him with swaggering conceit and self-assurance every chance they got? (28.60)
Yossarian maintains his integrity by continuing to be compassionate towards Orr. Despite their fights in the tent, when it comes to the question of death, Yossarian is willing to help others.

"What can't we create the roadblock somewhere else?" asked McWatt. "Why must it be there?"

[Colonel Korn:] "Why don't you want to bomb the village?"
"It's cruel, that's why." (29.67-76)
The men demonstrate their sense of righteousness and integrity by refusing to bomb innocent people. It is one of the few times when the soldiers are actually concerned about lives other than their own.
