Don’t panic
A few quotes of the remarkably funny and absurd Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (plus of the sequel Restaurant at the end of the Universe). Definately must-read(s). Grab it a.s.a.p. and relax in the fields of the unknown, and never get too serious. 🙂
The Hitchhiker’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 definitively inaccurate.

Sir Winston and his quotes
I deeply admire this man, his brains, sense of humour and self-mockery, and of course – his stiff neck 🙂
Help yourselves to 10 of his quotes on life and everything else. Just a tasting:
- “Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.”
- “Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.”
- “Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.”
