"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young." "Why, what did she tell you?" "I don't know, I didn't listen." #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot

Humanity may be likened to a tree. This tree has branches, leaves, buds and fruit. Think of all men as being flowers, leaves or buds of this tree, and try to help each and all to realize and enjoy God’s blessings. God neglects none: He loves all. ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá Paris Talks www.bahai.org/r/336345725 #bahai #bahaifaith #bahaiquotes #quotes

‘Laughing in the face of danger is not a survival strategy,’ said the god. ‘Oh, they don’t laugh,’ said Ponder gloomily. ‘They say things like, “you call that dangerous? It’s not a patch on the kind of danger you used to get when we were lads, eh, Senior Wrangler, what what?’ (Last Continent) #TerryPratchett #quotes #quote #bot

I think the message here is to be reasonable and don't assume you can just redefine things. But sometimes definitions need to be expanded or new ones created...we shouldn't forget that. #philosophy #quotes #CivilSimian #UniversalHumanism

A quotation from Frederick Douglass Americans! your republican politics, not less than your republican religion, are flagrantly inconsistent. You boast of your love of liberty, your superior civilization, and your pure Christianity, while the whole political power of the nation (as embodied in the two great political parties), is solemnly pledged to support and perpetuate the enslavement of three millions of your countrymen. You hurl your anathemas at the crowned headed tyrants of Russia and Austria, and pride yourselves on your Democratic institutions, while you yourselves consent to be the mere tools and body-guards of the tyrants of Virginia and Carolina. Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) American abolitionist, orator, writer Speech (1852-07-05), “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” Corinthian Hall, Rochester, New York More about this quote: wist.info/douglass-frederick/8… #quote #quotes #quotation #qotd #frederickdouglass #America #enslavement #hypocrisy #pretension #slavery #systemicracism #tyranny

The first nonabsolute number is the number of people for whom the table is reserved. This will vary during the course of the first three telephone calls to the restaurant, and then bear no apparent relation to the number of people who actually turn up... #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot

A quotation from Ray Bradbury There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches. Every minority, be it Baptist / Unitarian, Irish / Italian / Octogenarian / Zen Buddhist, Zionist / Seventh-day Adventist, Women’s Lib / Republican, Mattachine / Four Square Gospel feels it has the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse. Every dimwit editor who sees himself as the source of all dreary blanc-mange plain-porridge unleavened literature licks his guillotine and eyes the neck of any author who dares to speak above a whisper or write above a nursery rhyme. Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) American writer, futurist, fabulist Fahrenheit 451, “Coda” Afterword (1979 ed.)
