HHGTTG and LCTS quotes (Douglas Adams) “Ford, you’re turning into a penguin. Stop it.” -Arthur Dent “If there’s anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.” -Zaphod Beeblebrox “In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.” "I am so amazingly cool you could keep a side of meat in me for a month. I am so hip I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis." -Zaphod Beeblebrox "The first ten million years were the worst, and the second ten million, they were the worst too. The third ten million I didn't enjoy at all. After that I went into a bit of a decline." -Marvin, the Manically Depressed Robot "Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job." "That young girl is one of the least benightedly unintelligent organic life forms it has been my profound lack of pleasure not to be able to avoid meeting."

"There was a point to this story, but it has temporarily escaped the chronicler's mind." -Last line of So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish "The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair." "Could we perhaps take a snake bite detector with us to Komodo?” “Course you can, course you can. Take as many as you like. Won't do you a blind bit of good because they're only for Australian snakes.” “So what do we do if we get bitten by something deadly, then?” He blinked at me as if I was stupid. “Well what do you think you do?” he said. “You die of course. That's what deadly means.” -Last Chance to See (nonfiction) |
