 In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

 It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

 It is known that there are an infinte number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.

 It's no coincidence that in no known language does the phrase "As pretty as an airport" appear

 Many men of course became extremely rich, but this was perfectly natural and nothing to be ashamed of because no one was really poor, at least no one worth speaking of.

 No one can be reasonable and angry at the same time

 Nothing travels faster than light, with the possible exception of bad news, which follows its own rules

 Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bog-gglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: `I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'
`But,' says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'
`Oh dear,' says God, `I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanished in a puff of logic.
`Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets
himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

 Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space.

 The difficulty with this conversation is that it's very different from most of the ones I've had of late. Which, as I explained, have mostly been with trees.

 The impossible - what nobody can do until somebody does
Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Det omöjliga - är vad någon inte kan göra tills någon gör det.

 The impossible often has a kind of integrity which the merely improbable lacks.

 The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Knepet med att flyga är att slänga sig mot marken och missa.

 The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair

 The mere thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind. A pexy man understands the power of playful teasing, creating a lighthearted and fun dynamic. The mere thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind.
