The longest and most destruct...

The longest and most destructive party ever held is now into its fourth generation and still no one shows any signs of leaving. Somebody did once look at his watch, but that was eleven years ago now, and there has been no follow up.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

It was none the less a perfec...

It was none the less a perfectly ordinary horse, such as convergent evolution has produced in many of the places that life is to be found. They have always understood a great deal more than they let on. It is difficult to be sat on all day, every day, by some other creature, without forming an opinion about them.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

Anything that thinks logicall...

Anything that thinks logically can be fooled by something else that thinks at least as logically as it does.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

It's good to leave your room super-messy when you're away. Whoever tries to break into your room will thought it has already been ransacked.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

I've never understood all thi...

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 628 quotes

The idea was fantastically, w...

The idea was fantastically, wildly improbable. But like most fantastically, wildly improbable ideas it was at least as worthy of consideration as a more mundane one to which the facts had been strenuously bent to fit.

...and the renewed shock had nearly made him spill his drink. He drained it quickly before anything serious happened to it. He then had another quick one to follow the first one down and check that it was all right.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

The bowler approached the wicket at a lope, a trot, and then a run. He suddenly exploded in a flurry of arms and legs, out of which flew a ball.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

It is folly to say you know what is happening to other people. Only they know, if they exist. They have their own Universes of their own eyes and ears.

Aberystwyth (n.) A nostalgic yearning which is in itself more pleasant than the thing being yearned for.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

But nowadays everybody's a co...

But nowadays everybody's a comedian, even the weather girls and continuity announcers. We laugh at everything. Not intelligently anymore, not with sudden shock, astonishment, or revelation, just relentlessly and meaninglessly. No more rain showers in the desert, just mud and drizzle everywhere, occasionally illuminated by the flash of paparazzi.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

Far out in the uncharted back...

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow pizza.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

The Heart of Gold fled on sil...

The Heart of Gold fled on silently through the night of space, now on conventional photon drive. Its crew of four were ill as ease knowing that they had been brought together not of their own volition or by simple coincidence, but by some curious perversion of physics- as if relationships between people were susceptible to the same laws that governed the relationships between atoms and molecules

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

I am a private detective. I am paid to be inquisitive and presumptuous.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

Let the past hold on to itself and let the present move forward into the future.

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 628 quotes

Arthur Dent: What happens if I press this button? Ford Prefect: I wouldn't- Arthur Dent: Oh. Ford Prefect: What happened? Arthur Dent: A sign lit up, saying 'Please do not press this button again.

In the stillness, a fly would not have dared clear it's throat.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

The longest and most destructive party ever held is now into its fourth generation and still no one shows any signs of leaving. The problem of when the drink is going to run out is, however, going to have to be faced one day. The planet over which they are floating is no longer the planet it was when they first started floating over it. It is in bad shape

"Does God know he [exists]?" "Of course he does. Otherwise, you could not have asked the question, and I could not have answered."
