"Surely we cannot take an open question like the supernatural and shut it with a bang, turning the key of the madhouse on all the mystics of history.

Life
"Adams has done a bit of everything, from radio to television to designing computer games. Not all of them worked out. "These are life's little learning experiences, he said. "You know what a learning experience is? A learning experience is one of those things that says, 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that.'

Adams writes "slowly and painfully. "People assume you sit in a room, looking pensive and writing great thoughts, he said. "But you mostly sit in a room looking panic-stricken and hoping they haven't put a guard on the door yet."
