Quote context

[...]

- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. The introduction starts like this: Space, it says, is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is.

- I mean, you may think it's a long way down the street to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space. Listen... And so on.

- After a while, the style settles down a bit and it starts telling you things you actually need to know.

- Like the fact that the fabulously beautiful planet Bethselamin is now so worried about the cumulative erosion caused by over 10 billion visiting tourists a year...

- Any net imbalance between the amount you eat, and the amount you excrete whilst on the planet is surgically removed from your body weight when you leave.

- So, every time you go to the lavatory there, it is vitally important to get a receipt.

- In the entry about dying of asphyxiation, 30 seconds after being thrown out of a spaceship, it says that what with space being the size it is, the chances of being picked up by another craft within those seconds are 2 to the power of 260199:1 against.

- Which, by a staggering coincidence, was also the telephone number of an Islington flat, where Arthur once went to a very good party.

- Where he ate some very good food, had some very good drinks, with some very good friends, and met a very nice girl whom he totally failed to get off with.

- Though the planet Earth, the Islington flat and the telephone have all now been demolished, it is comforting to reflect that they're all in some small way commemorated by the fact that some 29 seconds later, Arthur and Ford were, in fact, rescued.

- See, I told you I'd think of something.

- Great idea of mine.

And lots of the people were mean and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.

Drink up. The world's about to end.

Ancient computers, ranged in the long caves, deep in the bowels of the planet, tick away the dark millennia, and the ages hang heavy on their dusty data banks.

What we demand is solid facts. -No, we don't. That is precisely what we don't demand. -We don't demand solid facts. What we demand is a total absence of solid facts.

By law, the quest for ultimate truth is the inalienable prerogative of your working thinkers. And if the machine actually goes and finds it, we're straight out of a job, aren't we?
