Favorite quotes from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Here are my favorites quotes from one of the most funny sci fi novel ever written! 

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.” 

“Don't Panic.” 

“Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.”

“So this is it," said Arthur, "We are going to die." 
"Yes," said Ford, "except... no! Wait a minute!" He suddenly lunged across the chamber at something behind Arthur's line of vision. "What's this switch?" he cried. 
"What? Where?" cried Arthur, twisting round. 

 "No, I was only fooling," said Ford, "we are going to die after all.”  

“The Answer to the Great Question... Of Life, the Universe and Everything... Is... Forty-two,' said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.”

“One of the things Ford Prefect had always found hardest to understand about humans was their habit of continually stating and repeating the very very obvious.” 

“Life,” said Marvin dolefully, “loathe it or ignore it, you can’t like it.” 

“The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner', but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish.”

“Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?”

-- Douglas Adams
