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 AdamsIf life is going to exist in a Universe of this size, then the one thing it cannot afford to have is a sense of proportion.
Douglas AdamsFor instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so muchโthe wheel, New York, wars and so onโwhilst 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 manโfor precisely the same reasons.
