There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what
the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be
replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
   There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

You live and learn.  At any rate, you live.

Time is an illusion.  Lunchtime doubly so.

In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men,
 women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were
 real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

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

Life...  is like a grapefruit.  It's orange and squishy, and has a few
pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast.

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 intended to be.

"There is an art to flying, or rather a knack.  The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."
A journey of a thousand miles began with a single step.

He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.


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


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


Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.





A journey of a thousand miles began with a single step.
Confucius
