Pocupine Ponderance Points - Douglas Adams



"Anything that happens happens, anything that in happening causes something else to happen causes something else to happen, and anything that in happening causes itself to happen again, happens again. Although not necessarily in chronological order."

"Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things. "

"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. "

"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. "

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

"The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. "

"We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem. "
