I just want to share one of my favourite Douglas Adams quote with you here, please excuse the randomness.

"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't"
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The Hitchhiker's Guide is to me what I reckon the bible is to a devoted christian. So, that's just three of my favorites:
.
"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?"
.
"For instance, 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."
.
“Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.”
Ford: "There's got to be SOME way of gettin' off this planet, other than gettin' high."
Arthur: "You been saying that for two years now."
Ford, drunk and slurring: "Oh have I? It must be true then."
,
I don't think this little gem ever made it to the books, but I think it's one of the best scenes in the radio version <3
