Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams
And all dared to brave unknown terrors, to do mighty deeds, to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before--and thus was the Empire forged.
Douglas Adams
The mere thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind.
Douglas Adams
The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner', but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish.
Douglas Adams
Time is the worst place, so to speak, to get lost in, as Arthur Dent could testify, having been lost in both time and space a good deal. At least being lost in space kept you busy.
Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams
Lord, lord, lord. Protect me from the consequences of the above prayer.
Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams
One of the most important things you learn from the internet is that there is no 'them' out there. It’s just an awful lot of 'us.'
Douglas Adams
I've never understood all this fuss people make about the dawn. I've seen a few and they're never as good as the photographs, which have the additional advantage of being things you can look at when you're in the right frame of mind, which is usually around lunchtime.
Douglas Adams
But what about the End of the Universe? We'll miss the big moment. I've seen it. It's rubbish, said Zaphod,nothing but a gnab gib. A what? Opposite of a big bang. Come on, let's get zappy.
Douglas Adams
I only know as much about myself as my mind can work out under its current conditions. And its current conditions are not good.
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
Life... is like a grapefruit. Well, it's sort of orangey-yellow and dimpled on the outside, wet and squidgy in the middle. It's got pips inside, too. Oh, and some people have half a one for breakfast.
Douglas Adams
You live and learn. At any rate, you live.
Douglas Adams
And then, just when you think that you have experienced all the wonders that this world has to offer, you round a peak and suddenly think you're doing the whole thing over again, but this time on drugs.
Douglas Adams
Even a manically depressed robot is better to talk to than nobody.
