"I wanted to die. I was insane... I wanted to free myself from my never-ending life. So I slit my wrists over and over until the cuts became infected and rotten. Until the blood drained and the white bones lay bare."

"I'll keep sinning... and again and again I'll wash my sins away and be reborn."

"A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering."

"Whatever became of the moment when one first knew about death? There must have been one, a moment, in childhood when it first occured to you that you don't go on for ever. It must have been shattering - stamped into one's memory. And yet I can't remember it. It never occured to me at all."

"I answer the question, 'Death, where is thy sting?' with here in my heart and mind and memories."

"Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."

"What human beings are able to do--we arrive in new territories and we colonize this entire world. We can live in the tundra, we can live in the Gobi Desert, we can even contrive to live in New York, for heaven's sake, because what we do is when we arrive somewhere, and let's say, again, we arrive somewhere much colder, instead of having to wait generations or--while our natural selection favors genes that have got a thicker coat, we see an animal that has already got a thicker coat, we say, we'll have it off him!"

"I suddenly felt, well, terribly old as I watched a mudskipper hopping along with what now seemed to me like a wonderful sense of hopeless, boundless naive optimism. It had such a terribly, terribly, terribly long way to go. I hoped that if its descendant was sitting here on this beach in 350 million years' time with a camera around its neck, it would feel that the journey had been worth it."

"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."

"Anyone who confuses the story of a spaceship careening through space with the sinking of a ship in 1912 is probably very, very dumb. Not that I mind selling the game to very, very dumb people. Their money is as good as anyone else's."

"As it is I went to lie in a field, along with my Hitch Hiker's Guide to Europe, and when the stars came out it occurred to me that if only someone would write a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as well, then I for one would be off like a shot. Having had this thought I promptly fell asleep and forgot about it for six years."

'"Gravity," said Dirk with a slightly dismissive shrug, "yes, there was that as well, I suppose. Though that, of course, was merely a discovery. It was there to be discovered."
He took a penny out of his pocket and tossed it casually on to the pebbles that ran alongside the paved pathway. "You see?" he said, "They even keep it on at weekends. Someone was bound to notice sooner or later."'

I'm probably gunna draw pictures for some of these.
