A quotation from Douglas Adams

   ARTHUR: You know, 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.
   FORD: Why, what did she tell you?
   ARTHUR: I don’t know, I didn’t listen.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
