“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.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

“He calculated the number of bricks in the wall, first in twos and then in tens and finally in sixteens. The numbers formed up and marched past his brain in terrified obedience. Division and multiplication were discovered. Algebra was invented and provided an interesting diversion for a minute or two. And then he felt the fog of numbers drift away, and looked up and saw the sparkling, distant mountains of calculus.”
― Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms

“Metropolitan policija je uhapsila bugarskog emigranta koji je džepario po terminalu 2 za vreme provale putnika iz tranzita u glavni hol. Kod njega je nađeno više novčanika, satova i nešto nakita. Bugarin nije nalazio da je, u okolnostima u kojma će verovatno ubrzano umreti, krađa besmislena. "A ako ne umrem?" pitao je trezveno. I načelno bio u pravu, bez obzira što je dva sata nakon hapšenja pobesneo. Bio je to slučaj. Mogao je i ne pobesneti.”
