But the plans were on display Ђќ 'On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.Ђќ 'That's the display department.Ђќ 'With a flashlight.Ђќ 'Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.Ђќ 'So had the stairs.Ђќ 'But look, you found the notice, didn't you?Ђќ 'Yes,Ђќ said Arthur, 'yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard.

Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.

In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

Perhaps I'm old and tired, but...

Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

Their minds sang with the ecstatic knowledge that either what they were doing was completely and utterly and totally impossible or that physics had a lot of catching up to do.

You can't possibly be a scientist if you mind people thinking that you're a fool.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

If God allows proof that he exists he robs people of faith and without faith what is God? Nothing.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

If somebody votes for a party ...

If somebody votes for a party that you don't agree with, you're free to argue about it as much as you like. ... But on the other hand, if somebody says, 'I mustn't move a light switch on a Saturday,' you say, 'Fine, I respect that.'

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

'I refuse to prove that I exi...

'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.

Generally, old media don't die...

Generally, old media don't die. They just have to grow old gracefully. Guess what, we still have stone masons. They haven't been the primary purveyors of the written word for a while now of course, but they still have a role because you wouldn't want a TV screen on your headstone.

Douglas Adams 628 quotes

We notice things that don't work. We don't notice things that do. We notice computers, we don't notice pennies. We notice e-book readers, we don't notice books.

The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place.

It is most gratifying,' it said, 'that your enthusiasm for our planet continues unabated, and so we would like to assure you that the guided missiles currently converging with your ship are part of a special service we extend to all of our most enthusiastic clients, and the fully armed nuclear warheads are of course merely a courtesy detail. We look forward to your custom in future lives ... thank you.

You know,' said Arthur, 'it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young.' 'Why, what did she tell you?' 'I don't know, I didn't listen.

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

42 is a nice number that you can take home and introduce to your family.

For millions of years, on average, one species became extinct every century.... We are now heaving more than a thousand different species of animals and plants off the planet every year.
