Words to live by... Douglas Adams

As author of one of the greatest series of all time - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, he had a lot of great things to say. These are some of my favorites:

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground.

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.

The impossible often has a kind of integrity which the merely improbable lacks.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

You live and learn. At any rate, you live.

We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem.
