Default hilarious quotes from Douglas Adams

Quotes from Douglas Adams - author of Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy.
Enjoy!

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete
fools.

Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

I'm spending a year dead for tax reasons.

If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their
mouths probably seize up. After a few months' consideration and
observation he abandonded this theory in favor of a new one. If they
don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start
working.

Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to
believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?

Life is wasted on the living.

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.

Time is bunk.
