“Via葲a noastr膬 e ca o c膬l膬torie pe p膬m芒nt: prea u葯oar膬 葯i monoton膬 de-a lungul 卯ntinselor c芒mpii, prea dur膬 葯i nepl膬cut膬 pe pantele abrupte; dar pe 卯n膬l葲imile mun葲ilor te bucuri de o priveli葯te minunat膬, te sim葲i exaltat, ochii se umplu de lacrimi, ai vrea s膬 c芒n葲i, ai vrea s膬 ai aripi. Dar nu po葲i s膬 r膬m芒i acolo, trebuie s膬-葲i continui c膬l膬toria 葯i 卯ncepi s膬 cobori pe partea cealalt膬, at芒t de preocupat s膬 alegi locul 卯n care s膬-葲i pui piciorul 卯nc芒t ui葲i pl膬cerea 卯ncercat膬 pe culmi”

“E greu s膬-葲i imaginezi lumea f膬r膬 un creator, dar prefer s膬 nu-mi 卯nchipui c膬 faptele oamenilor sunt inspirate de fiin葲e supranaturale. 脦mi place mai mult s膬 cred c膬 oamenii 葯i-au inventat brutalitatea f膬r膬 ajutor divin.”

“Nimic nu-i mai r膬u pentru caracterul omului dec芒t s膬 fi m芒ndru de faptele tale bune. Fie c膬 te m芒ndre葯ti cu musculatura, cu rapiditatea, cu for葲a, 卯ndem芒narea, 卯ndurarea..., acestea sunt sl膬biciuni comune nou膬 tuturor. Dar atunci c芒nd un om r膬m芒ne din virtutea lui doar cu 卯ng芒mfarea, este trist!”

“All right," said Ford. "How would you react if I said that I'm not from Guildford at all, but from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse?"
Arthur shrugged in a so-so sort of way.
"I don't know," he said, taking a pull of beer. "Why, do you think it's the sort of thing you're likely to say?"
Ford gave up. It really wasn't worth bothering at the moment, what with the world being about to end.”

“At that moment the dull sound of a rumbling crash from outside filtered through the low murmur of the pub, through the sound of the jukebox, through the sound of the man next to Ford hiccuping over the whiskey Ford had eventually bought him.
Arthur choked on his beer, leaped to his feet.
"What's that?" he yelped.
"Don't worry," said Ford, "they haven't started yet."
"Thank God for that," said Arthur, and relaxed.
"It's probably just your house being knocked down," said Ford, downing his last pint.
"What?" shouted Arthur. Suddenly Ford's spell was broken. Arthur looked wildly around him and ran to the window.
"My God, they are! They're knocking my house down. What the hell am I doing in the pub, Ford?"
"It hardly makes any difference at this stage," said Ford, "let them have their fun.”

“They are an American Delegation who are doing a tour of the region to apologize for the crusades', said Arafat. Then he, and his guest, burst out laughing.

But Arafat, at any rate, was happy to indulge the affliction of anyone who believed they had and use it to his own political advantage.”

“A society that says we are defined exclusively by the bar and the nightclub , by self-indulgence and our sense of entitlement, cannot be said to have deep roots or much likelihood of survival. But, a society which holds that our culture consists of the cathedral, the playhouse and the playing field, the shopping mall and Shakespeare, has a chance.”
