Memorable and interesting quotes from great books. ― Douglas Adams, quote from So Long, and Thanks for All the Fishĭiplomatic Immunity by Lois McMaster Bujold About BookQuotersīookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, 'Listen, bud,' said Ford, 'if I had one Altairian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say 'That's terrible' I wouldn't be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin.” 'They're completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone's got to say it.' 'Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happenned to them,' he said.

'They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.' 'It honestly doesn't occur to them,' said Ford. 'So,' said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, 'why don't people get rid of the lizards?' 'Odd,' said Arthur, 'I thought you said it was a democracy.' The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.' Nothing anything like so straightforward. 'No,' said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, 'nothing so simple.

'You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?'

Meanwhile, the poor babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.Douglas Adams
