One flew over the cuckoo's nest.

Correct me if I’m wrong, it’s been a very long time since I read it.

Finally toward the end he yells “I’m tired of all the bullshit!” That stuck in my mind and lately I find myself thinking “I’m tired…”

And the patient who repeatedly said "I'm tired" was Bancini. It's been a while since I've read it as well.
