Arthur Dent

"This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays."

"Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?"

"Nobody needs to know that we're here."

"You know how it is with writing. You just do it."

"I've never understood why anybody has ever wanted to do this beastly painful activity."

"It's unpleasantly like being drunk."

"The problem is that I cannot think of what I want to think of."

"The best way to avoid flying is to fall towards the planet."

"The world is fundamentally strange."

"I wonder what the question is."

"I don't believe any of this is happening."

"I have always wanted to visit the planets."

"Ah, this is clearly some strange usage of the word 'safe' I was previously unaware of."

"I wish I had my towel."

"Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it."

"This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays."

"This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays."

"Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?"

"The fact that we live here is as odd as anything I know."

"There's nothing left to do but say goodbye."

"Going to work is like an adventure into another universe."

"I may be a sorry case, but I don't write jokes in base thirteen."

"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."

"There's nothing like a cup of tea for making your problems seem cosmically trivial."

"So this is it. We are going to die, and this is the last conversation we will ever have."

"Suddenly it occurred to me that I was not alone in the universe."

"A cup of tea would be lovely."

"You know, it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with nothing but a cup of tea and a couple of biscuits, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me."

"You live and learn. At any rate, you live."

"I refuse to answer that on the grounds that I don't know the answer."
