“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.”
“Why, what did she tell you?”
“I don’t know, I didn’t listen.”

I love the HHGttG! The first three books mainly. I basically read and re-read them one after another throughout my teens :D

One of my all time favourite Marvin quotes.

If I remember right, he is meeting the other protagonists who have travelled instantaneously through time (via the infinite improbability drive) to get to the Restaurant At The End Of The Universe.

Marvin has had to go the long way round…

Haven’t read those books or listened to the radio drama since childhood, but they made quite an impression.
 
"Brain the size of a planet and all they ask me to is to park cars" and " I think I will park myself in a corner and just rust" are a couple of mine.

One of my own personal favourites.

A paragraph from my daughters wedding speech is one which is inspiring.

Well there is a saying – God grant me the patience to bear that which cannot be changed, the courage to change that which can be, and the wisdom to know the difference – my husband has been granted all of these – the secret of a happy marriage I am sure, and when we work together we make a unbeatable team – so I can say that in him I have met a true partner and I look forward to many happy and eventful years together as husband and wife!
 
“You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.”
