Douglas Adams said thus...........

This morning I wrote a blog about the Ashes Cup after a visit to Lord’s Cricket Ground yesterday (which you probably will see tomorrow). While doing the Today in History section, I discovered that Douglas Adams had sadly died on this day in 2001. I thought I would use a Douglas Adams quote on my blog in his honour. What I found was a plethora of wonderful quotes and couldn’t limit myself to one or even two. So here are some selections I found humourous! And here’s to all you fans of 42!

“He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.”

“I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.”

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”

“It is no coincidence that in no known language does the phrase 'As pretty as an Airport' appear.

“The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred character attributes of New Yorkers, common sense snuck in at number 79.”

“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.”

“Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.”

“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.”
