More quotes by Douglas Adams
Put away your worries, the world is a good and perfect place. It is in fact very easy.
Douglas Adams
Zaphod Beeblebrox, adventurer, ex-hippie, good-timer (crook? quite possibly), manic self-publicist, terrible bad at personal relationships, often thought to be completely out to lunch.
Douglas Adams
Democracy is all about not electing the wrong man-eating lizard.
Douglas Adams
A life that is burdened with expectations is a heavy life. Its fruit is sorrow and disappointment.
Douglas Adams
He learned to communicate with birds and discovered their conversation was fantastically boring. It was all to do with windspeed, wingspans, power-to-weight ratios and a fair bit about berries.
Douglas Adams
What is this? Some sort of galactic hyperhearse?
Douglas Adams
The first ten million years were the worst, said Marvin, and the second ten million years, they were the worst too. The third ten million years I didn't enjoy at all. After that I went into a bit of a decline.
Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams
2,000 years ago one man got nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be if everyone was nice to each other for a change.
Douglas Adams
I refuse to prove that I exist says God, for proof denies faith, and without faith, I am nothing. Oh, says man, but the Babel Fish is a dead give-away, isn't it? It proves You exist, and so therefore You don't. Q.E.D. Oh, I hadn't thought of that, says God, who promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
Douglas Adams
Don't spin your wheels and stress. Take a deep breath, center yourself and make a plan.
Douglas Adams
What is the point? We assume that every time we do anything we know what the consequences will be, i.e., more or less what we intend them to be. This is not only not always correct. It is wildly, crazily, stupidly, cross-eyed-blithering-insectly wrong!
Douglas Adams
He turned slowly like a fridge door opening.
Douglas Adams
It was his subconscious which told him this - that infuriating part of a person's brain which never responds to interrogation, merely gives little meaningful nudges and then sits humming quietly to itself, saying nothing.
Douglas Adams
How do you know you're having fun if there's no one watching you have it?
Douglas Adams
I'm 48, which is a bit of a shock to me. Why only last year I thought I was a precocious young thing!
Douglas Adams
