| "Humans think they are smarter than dolphins because we build cars and buildings and start wars, etc... and all that dolphins do is swim in the water, eat fish and play around. Dolphins believe that they are smarter for exactly the same reasons." "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be." �In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.� �In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.� �It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.� �It is no coincidence that in no known language does the phrase 'As pretty as an Airport' appear.� "Life... is like a grapefruit. It's orange and squishy, and has a few pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast." �Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.� (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) �So long, and thanks for all the fish.� �Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-boggingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.� (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) �The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred character attributes of New Yorkers, common sense snuck in at number 79.� (Mostly Harmless) |
