Johnian Quotes Douglas Adams

(B.A. 1974)

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. (Douglas Adams)

You live and learn. At any rate, you live. (Mostly Harmless)

A learning experience is one of those things that say. ‘You know that thing you just did? Don’t do that.’

(The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time)

Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now? (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)
