    Douglas Adams

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

    “The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

    To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”
