The way you worded it made it almost seem like there was more then one author. It took me a couple of moments to realize that my memory was correct. Of course now it is giving me urges to go find my D.A. book(s) and read them... if I could find them among the boxes of books in the loft upstairs. *lol*
Yeah, well, I'm a bigger Douglas Adams geek than all of youdrl909September 26 2006, 15:13:23 UTC
The second quote is the first line of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, I think. (I'm not sure, because it's also in the radio series, but it's in a comparatively weird place in the radio series so sometimes I forget where it is in the books.)
(The original radio series episodes are not available on CD in the U.S. This makes me want to cry.)
The third quote is the final line of So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish.
I don't quite know where the first quote comes from. I've always thought it came from an interview where he was chiefly talking about his time as story-editor on Doctor Who in the late seventies. (In late 1979, he was writing the first HHGG novel, five episodes of the HHGG radio series, possibly the six-part HHGG miniseries, and ten episodes of Doctor Who. In addition to that, he was also story-editing everybody else's episodes for that particular season of Who-sixteen episodes' worth. Almost all of it turned up late, except for the Doctor Who stuff; a lot of fandom considers that particular season a low

I think all three quotes are from Douglas Adams.
