Favourite quotations:
“I can see beauty where others see only ugliness. That either makes me an artist, or a person of very poor taste.”
“The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together.” - Carl Sagan
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” - Oscar Wilde
“Go throw your TV set away,
And in its place you can install
A lovely bookshelf on the wall.”
- Television, Roald Dahl
“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says: ‘I’ll try again tomorrow.’ ” - Mary Anne Radmacher
“Action’s character, if we never did anything, we wouldn’t be anybody.” - An Education
“If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.” - Douglas Adams
“I’m so hip I can hardly see over my pelvis” - Zaphod Beeblebrox
“Whipped cream isn’t whipped cream at all if it hasn’t been whipped with whips, just like poached eggs isn’t poached eggs unless it’s been stolen in the dead of the night.” - Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
