Douglas Adams quote?

[HotRodSteve]

In a world gone mad you'd have to be insane not to go crazy.

If you're asking if this is Douglas Adams, it doesn't seem to be......although it SHOULD be.

“...the mighty ships tore across the empty wastes of space and finally dived screaming on to the first planet they came across - which happened to be the Earth - where due to a terrible miscalculation of scale the entire battle fleet was accidentally swallowed by a small dog.”

Douglas Adams

Brilliant writer, very sadly missed. A different author tried his hand at Hitchhiker's guide, but I didn't make it half way through the book sadly. Went to see the live radio show a few years ago, had me howling with laughter. I never tire of anything he wrote.

This will force me to re-read the trilogy (quadlogy?) to find that quote.

I've seen that quote before. But no, it indeed doesn't come from Hitchhiker's guide or Dirk Gently series. Still a true one; and somewhat sad methinks.

Hah - by now it's a trilogy in six parts, no less

Never mind.

"A time will come when the whole world will go mad. And to anyone who is not mad they will say: 'You are mad, for you are not like us.'" - St. Anthony the Great (attributed to)

If you don't know where your towel is you are not a hoopy frood.

That particular quote doesn't come up with anything on google, so even if it was from something other than Hitchiker's Guide, it should get a hit from SOMETHING. I agree it sounds like it should be a quote from someone or something like Douglas Adams.....but??????

“It seemed to me,' said Wonko the Sane, 'that any civilization that had so far lost its head as to need to include a set of detailed instructions for use in a package of toothpicks, was no longer a civilization in which I could live and stay sane.”


― Douglas Adams, So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

Perhaps it's a quote from Pratchett...

 

[Peregrino69]

Indeed it doesn't. But I still have heard it before. Not in Discworld... it sounds more like Scott Adams or Philip K. Dick. With a stretch, Ray Bradbury.

I found that the sixth book was good when the author forgot he was trying to be Douglas Adams - but yes, I couldn't finish it either...

My favourite Adams quote - I love deadlines. I love the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

That's one of my favorites. I say it a lot, right about noon.
