“All I know is this: nobody’s very big in the first place, and it looks to me like everybody spends their whole life tearing everybody else down.” Page 174
When McMurphy says this to Harding about Harding’s problems with his wife, I think what he is really trying to say is deeper than this. He is not just saying it about Harding and his relationship with his wife; he is really saying it about the whole hospital. The patients are always town down, they are broken in front of everyone and after a while of being beaten and broken one starts to just completely fall apart and lose all sanity.
