“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.”

“The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is an indispensable companion to all
those who are keen to make sense of life in an infinitely complex and confusing Universe, for though it cannot hope to be useful or informative on all matters,
it does at least make the reassuring claim, that where it is inaccurate it is at
least definitely inaccurate. In cases of major discrepancy it’s always reality
that’s got it wrong.
This was the gist of the notice. It said “The Guide is definitive. Reality is
frequently inaccurate.”

“It is worth repeating at this point the theories that Ford had come up with, on his first encounter with human beings, to account for their peculiar habit of continually stating and restating the very very obvious, as in "It's a nice day," or "You're very tall," or "So this is it, we're going to die."
His first theory was that if human beings didn't keep exercising their lips, their mouths probably shriveled up.
After a few months of observation he had come up with a second theory, which was this--"If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, their brains start working.”

“Bütün çağların trajedisi bu. Ku-ya-ra; 'Kumda yatma rahatlığı.' A-da-ko: 'Ağaç dalı kompleksi.' Şimdi kumda yattığım için kuyara diyorum. Daha da genişletilebilir. Kuyara, alışılmış tatların sürüp gitmesindeki rahatlıktır. Düşünmeden uyuyuvermek. Biteviye geçen günlerin kolaylığı. Ya adako? Ağaç dalındaki, gövdeden ayrılma eğilimini fark ettin mi bilmem? Hep öteye öteye uzar. Gövdenin toprağa kök salmış rahatlığından bir kaçıştır bu. Özgürlüğe susamışlıktır. Buna ben 'ağaç dalı kompleksi' diyorum. Genç hastalığıdır. Çoğunlukla kuyara dişidir. Adako erkek. Pek seyrek cins değiştirdikleri de olur. Ağaç dalı kompleksine tutulmuş kişi tedirgindir. İnsanların ağaç dallarını budayıp gövdeye yaklaştırdıkları gibi, yakınları onun içindeki bu Adako'yu da budarlar. Onu gövdeden ayırmamak için ellerinden geleni yaparlar. Kimi insana ne yapılsa yararı olmaz. Asi daldır o. Ayrılır. Balta işlemez ona.”
