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
Really, the moment you have any idea, the second thought that enters your mind after the original idea is, What is this?

Really, from that moment, your decision about what kind of thing it is then determines how it develops.
Douglas Adams
