Author Douglas Adams, who wrote Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy among other things, was born on this date in 1952. Here are 10 Douglas Adams Quotations:
 |
| Mucking about in the water, having a good time |
- A cup of tea would restore my normality.
- First we thought the PC was a calculator. Then we found out how to turn numbers into letters with ASCII — and we thought it was a typewriter. Then we discovered graphics, and we thought it was a television. With the World Wide Web, we've realised it's a brochure.
- I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
- The bird that would soar above the plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings.
- “What's so unpleasant about being drunk?" "Ask a glass of water!”
- On the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.
- A learning experience is one of those things that says, 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."
- A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
- I'd far rather be happy than right any day.
- I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.
