I was in the mood for something ridiculous yet brilliant, so I read some Douglas Adams.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (a trilogy in five books) is one of the greatest series ever written. I like book one the best, but they all have quotes that make you think and laugh.
The following quote is from book five, Mostly Harmless. If you are wondering what is mostly harmless, it is the Earth, according to the entry Ford Prefect wrote for the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, “a wholly remarkable book—perhaps the most remarkable, certainly the most successful book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor.”
“Anything that happens, happens.
Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.
Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again.
It doesn’t necessarily do it in chronological order, though.”Douglas Adams
