Douglas Adams
“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

“The storm starts, when the drops start dropping

Dr. Seuss, Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories

Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time
