Douglas Adams
Arthur felt happy. He was terribly pleased that the day was for once working out so much according to plan. Only twenty minutes ago he had decided he would go mad, and now here he was already chasing a Chesterfield sofa across the fields of prehistoric Earth.
Douglas Adams
Many men of course became extremely rich, but this was perfectly natural and nothing to be ashamed of because no one was really poor, at least no one worth speaking of.
Douglas Adams
The seat received him in a loose and distant kind of way, like an aunt who disapproves of the last fifteen years of your life and will therefore furnish you with a basic sherry, but refuses to catch your eye.
Douglas Adams
Pardon me for breathing, which I never do any way so I don’t know why I bother to say it, oh God, I’m so depressed.
Douglas Adams
Listen, three eyes, he said, don't you try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.
Douglas Adams
Technology is a word that describes something that doesn't work yet.

What a wonderfully exciting cough,' said the little man, quite startled by it, 'do you mind if I join you?' And with that he launched into the most extraordinary and spectacular fit of coughing which caught Arthur so much by surprise that he started to choke violently, discovered he was already doing it and got thoroughly confused.
Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams
