Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams
Cyberspace is - or can be - a good, friendly and egalitarian place to meet.
Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams
There's always a moment when you start to fall out of love, whether it's with a person or an idea or a cause, even if it's one you only narrate to yourself years after the event: a tiny thing, a wrong word, a false note, which means that things can never be quite the same again.
Douglas Adams
