In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”
Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

 

2. “Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying ‘End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH’, the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.”
Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

(I once had a dream about finding a utility box that would turn off electricity for the entire world if you turned a certain switch on it. Dream Lydia paused for a moment and then decided to flick that switch to see what happened. Everything did, indeed, go dark! Real Lydia would never do that, though).

 

 

3. “We’ll never survive!”
“Nonsense. You’re only saying that because no one ever has.”

4. “I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.”
― Maya Angelou

 

5. “Reality continues to ruin my life.”
Bill Watterson, The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

 

6. “For some stories, it’s easy. The moral of ‘The Three Bears,’ for instance, is “Never break into someone else’s house.’ The moral of ‘Snow White’ is ‘Never eat apples.’ The moral of World War I is ‘Never assassinate Archduke Ferdinand.”
Lemony Snicket, The Wide Window

 

7. “Do flat-earthers believe that other planets are also flat?”
Oliver Markus Malloy, Inside The Mind of an Introvert: Comics, Deep Thoughts and Quotable Quotes
