geniale sitater fra haikerens guide til galaksen

[Tonberry]

jupp, er 14 og ikke veldig sterk i engelsk

Jeg fikk den engelske versjonen (den med alle fem bøkene i ett bind) når jeg var 15, og den brukte jeg vel en 8-10 dager på...

 

Det er bare å sette seg ned og lese den, samme hvor absurd det virker så gir det meste mening når du får det inn i en setting.

 

Har ikke boka foran meg så jeg finner ingen gode quotes

[Jørgen Sørheim]

Ikke akkurat et sitat, men den mest roflmao-fremkallende delen av boken.

 

Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet.

 

And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it then had to come to terms with not being a whale any more.

 

This is a complete record of its thoughts from the moment it began its life till the moment it ended it.

 

Ah ... ! What's happening? it thought.

 

Er, excuse me, who am I?

 

Hello?

 

Why am I here? What's my purpose in life?

 

What do I mean by who am I?

 

Calm down, get a grip now ... oh! this is an interesting sensation, what is it? It's a sort of ... yawning, tingling sensation in my ... my ... well I suppose I'd better start finding names for things if I want to make any headway in what for the sake of what I shall call an argument I shall call the world, so let's call it my stomach.

 

Good. Ooooh, it's getting quite strong. And hey, what's about this whistling roaring sound going past what I'm suddenly going to call my head? Perhaps I can call that ... wind! Is that a good name? It'll do ... perhaps I can find a better name for it later when I've found out what it's for. It must be something very important because there certainly seems to be a hell of a lot of it. Hey! What's this thing? This ... let's call it a tail - yeah, tail. Hey! I can can really thrash it about pretty good can't I? Wow! Wow! That feels great! Doesn't seem to achieve very much but I'll probably find out what it's for later on. Now - have I built up any coherent picture of things yet?

 

No.

 

Never mind, hey, this is really exciting, so much to find out about, so much to look forward to, I'm quite dizzy with anticipation ...

 

Or is it the wind?

 

There really is a lot of that now isn't it?

 

And wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like ... ow ... ound ... round ... ground! That's it! That's a good name - ground!

 

I wonder if it will be friends with me?

 

And the rest, after a sudden wet thud, was silence.

Helt enig med deg, psilocybe. Jeg leser boka på jobb på pauserommet og fikk sendt en del rare blikk da jeg brøt ut i høylytt latter mens jeg leste ei bok.

 

Ikke et sitat dette heller, men det får gå:

 

"What was that noise?" hissed Ford.

"It was me shouting", shouted Atrhur.

"No! Shut up!" said Ford. "I think we're in trouble."

"You think we're in trouble!"

Outside the door were the clear sound of marching footsteps.

"The Dentrassis?" whispered Arthur

"No, those are steel-tipped boots," said Ford.

There was a sharp ringing rap on the door.

"Then who is it?" said Arthur

"Well,"said Ford, "if we're lucky it's just the Vogons come to throw us into space."

"And if we're unlucky?"

"If we're unlucky," said Ford grimly, "the captain might be serious in his threat that he's going to read us some of his poetry first...."

Leste den faktisk på barneskolen

 

Da var jeg ikke sterk i engelsk nei.
