“Dear friend now in the dusty clockless hours of the town when the streets lie black and steaming in the wake of the watertrucks and now when the drunk and the homeless have washed up in the lee of walls in alleys or abandoned lots and cats go forth highshouldered and lean in the grim perimeters about, now in these sootblacked brick or cobbled corridors where lightwire shadows make a gothic harp of cellar doors no soul shall walk save you.”

“Indeed, Bill, it is. You find me thriving. And Mrs Roberts? How is she? Foot still troubling her?” “Not since she had it off, thanks for asking, sir. Between you and me, sir, I would’ve been just as happy to have had her amputated and kept the foot. I had a little spot reserved on the mantelpiece, but there we are, we have to take things as we find them.”
― Douglas Adams, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency Box Set: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

“Where there’s strength there’s courage.
Where there’s courage there’s hope.
Where there’s hope there’s faith.
Where there’s faith there’s power.

Where there’s truth there’s knowledge.
Where there’s knowledge there’s understanding.
Where there’s understanding there’s wisdom.
Where there’s wisdom there’s enlightenment.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo
