  31. A quotation from Douglas Adams

       “It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see ….”
       “You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?”
       “No,” said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, “nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.”
       “Odd,” said Arthur, “I thought you said it was a democracy.”
       “I did,” said Ford. “It is.”
       “So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t the people get rid of the lizards?”
       “It honestly doesn’t occur to them,” said Ford. “They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they’ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.”
       “You mean they actually vote for the lizards?”
       “Oh yes,” said Ford with a shrug, “of course.”
       “But,” said Arthur, going for the big one again, “why?”
       “Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, “the wrong lizard might get in.”

  32. A quotation from Douglas Adams

       “So what’s the point of showing me something I can’t see?”
       “So that you understand that just because you see something, it doesn’t mean to say it’s there. And if you don’t see something, it doesn’t mean to say it’s not there. It’s only what your senses bring to your attention.”

    Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter
    Hitchhiker’s Guide No. 5, Mostly Harmless, ch. 17 (1992)

  33. A quotation from Douglas Adams

    Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

    Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, ch. 20 [Dirk] (1987)
