"What did she say?"
"She hit me on the head with the rock again."
"I think I can confirm that that was my daughter."
"Sweet kid."
"You have to get to know her," said Arthur.
"She eases up, does she?"
"No," said Arthur, "but you get a better sense of when to duck." -
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

A quotation from Douglas Adams
I’ve never understood all this fuss people make about the dawn. I’ve seen a few and they’re never as good as the photographs, which have the additional advantage of being things you can look at when you’re in the right frame of mind, which is usually around lunchtime.

It's great to see that Douglas Adams and his works are still very much loved 25 years after his death. It's a good indication that he'll be remembered far into the future.

A quotation from Douglas Adams
NARRATOR: And then one day, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change a girl sitting on her own in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything. Sadly however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone, the Earth was unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass and so the idea was lost forever.
Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Phase 1, “Fit the 2nd” (BBC Radio) (1978-03-15)More about this quote: wist.info/adams-douglas/81564/

Ah, the Yorkshire Vogon Clan - they're the worst of all. The same mind scrambling poetry but with brass band music in the background - truly evil.

Ich erinnere mich auch an eine Fassung mit Otto Sander und Nina Hoger_ Anyway.
Im Internet Archive ist die synchronisierte BBC-Fassung zu finden. \via #ChronoLink https://mprove.de/chrono3d?ll=51.35031,0.21835&q=51.0733,0.39325&z=8.85&t=17&i=1/adams /
