It is known that there are infinitely many planets.
This is due to the simple reason that the space in which they can exist is also infinite. However, not all of these planets are inhabited. It follows that the number of habitable planets certainly. The quotient of any finite number by infinity tends to zero and does not rest, therefore, we can conclude that the average population of the planets of the Universe is zero. It follows that the population in the whole Universe is also zero, and therefore all the people who sometimes get on your way, are a product of your fevered imagination.

- This color infuriates me, said Zaphod whose love for the ship melted after three minutes of flight. - Each time you press the black button on a black panel with a black mark on a black background, in response to the signal lights black. What have we stolen? Galactic hearse?

That's what we have escape pods?
- No.
- Well counted?
- Two times.

- I accept only solution that comes to my Universe, said the master. My universe is my eyes and my ears. Everything else is nothing more than a rumor.

- I thought you died.
- One time I thought so, too, joined Ford, - and then a couple of weeks decided that I was a lemon. Terribly fun - all for two weeks and only knew that was flounder in a gin and tonic.

After some time he slowly began, furtively, to sneak ahead with a thoughtful frown of bafflement on her face - like a leopard, which I'm not quite sure what you just saw half a mile ahead, on a hot and dusty Prairie, a half-empty jar of "Whiskas".

Every civilization in its development inevitably goes through three clearly different stages: the Struggle for survival, Curiosity and Sophistication, otherwise known as the stage of How, Why and Where. For example, the first of them is characterized by the question: "How do we eat?" the second question: "Why do we eat?" and the third: "Where would we better go to dinner?"

Life, of course, a lot of unknown parties, but perhaps more often we face questions like "Why are people born?", "Why die?" and "Why in this period they tend to wear a digital watch?".

- Are you crazy?!
It's a possibility I do not exclude, - she said Zaphod. In the end, I know about myself only that can tell me my brain in its current state. But its current state is not the best.

Trillian suspected at the Zaphod life is so exciting mainly because he rarely understands what he's doing.

The highway is the sort of thing that gives an opportunity for individuals to rush headlong from point a to point B, while others may headlong rush from point B to point A. Living in the point b, located right in the middle, often ask myself: what is so great point And if the eager crowd from point B, and why other crazy point B? They often wish the people once and for all decided to live and work there, where the hell they really want.

This planet has - or rather had - a problem: the majority of people living on it and did just that, suffered, as she could not find happiness in their lives. Born many solutions, but almost all of them boiled down to a redistribution of small green pieces of paper - which in itself is very strange, as people, and little green pieces of paper no suffering was experienced, because happiness is not searched.

Please, consider that I'm not worthy of your attention - the mourning came a muffled voice.
- How are you cyber? - asked Ford.
- I mourn.
- What's new?
- I do not know, said Marvin. Nothing new under the sun.
- Why, - said Ford, dropping down next to squat, you're lying here in the dust? And face down?
This is a very good way to feel miserable, - said Marvin. - Don't pretend you want to talk to me. I know you don't like me much.
- Quite the contrary.
- No, not Vice versa. All hate me. So does the universe. Should I talk with someone, and I already hate. Even the robots. But if you do not pay attention to me, maybe I'll just leave.

One of the most difficult to understand Ford Prefect had always found the human habit of constantly say and repeat is very obvious, for example, "Nice day," or "You're very tall", or "Oh dear, you seem to have fallen into tridtsatimetrovy well? With thee all right?"
