  1. A quotation from Douglas Adams

       “Ah, I expect you’ll be wanting to pay for that paper, then, won’t you, Mr. Dirk, sir?” said the newsagent, trotting gently after him.
       “Ah, Bates,” said Dirk loftily, “you and your expectations. Always expecting this and expecting that. May I recommend serenity to you? A life that is burdened with expectations is a heavy life. Its fruit is sorrow and disappointment. Learn to be one with the joy of the moment.”

    Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
    Dirk Gently, No. 2, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, ch. 4 (1988)
