“— (...) Żądamy jednoznacznych faktów! — Walnął pięścią w stojące w pobliżu biurko.
— Nie, nieprawda! — wykrzyknął Majikthise ze złością. — Właśnie tego nie żądamy!
Vroomfondel nie zdążył jeszcze zaczerpnąć powietrza, a już krzyczał:
— Nie żądamy jednoznacznych faktów! Żądamy zupełnego braku jednoznacznych faktów! Żądam, abym mógł być albo nie być Vroomfondelem!
— Ale kim jesteście, do diabła?!! — wykrzyczał wściekły Fook.
— Jesteśmy filozofami — odparł Majikthise.
— Albo i nie — dodał Vroomfondel, grożąc Lunk- willowi i Fookowi palcem.
— Zamknij się, jesteśmy filozofami i już — pohamował go Majikthise.”

“Ford was humming something. It was just one note repeated at intervals.
He was hoping that somebody would ask him what he was humming, but nobody did. If anybody had asked him he would have said he was humming the first line of a Noël Coward song called "Mad About the Boy" over and over again. It would then have been pointed out to him the he was only singing one note, to which he would have replied that for reasons that he hoped would be apparent, he was omitting the "abour the boy" bit. He was annoyed that nobody asked.”

His first theory was that if human beings didn't keep exercising their lips, their mouths probably shriveled up.

After a few months of observation he had come up with a second theory, which was this-"If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, their brains start working.”
