Douglas Adams
The Guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.
Douglas Adams
The big corporations are suddenly taking notice of the web, and their reactions have been slow. Even the computer industry failed to see the importance of the Internet, but that's not saying much. Let's face it, the computer industry failed to see that the century would end.
Douglas Adams
All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.
Douglas Adams
People who need to bully you are the easiest to push around.
Douglas Adams
Fifteen years was a long time to be stranded anywhere, particularly somewhere as mind-boggingly dull as Earth.
Douglas Adams
I teleported home last night with Ron and Sid and Meg Ron stole Meggy's heart away and I got Sidney's leg.
Douglas Adams
The Guide says there is an art to flying, said Ford, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
Douglas Adams
I don't say that I don't believe in God because that implies that there is a God for me not to believe in.
Douglas Adams
I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is.
