“They are one of the most unpleasant races in the galaxy - not actually evil, but bad tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without an order, signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.

If you want to annoy a vogon, feed his grandmother to the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.”
― Douglas Adams

One easy way to keep fit is to do a morning walk or workout regularly. These activities are hardly pleasant in the beginning. However, if you follow the routine of doing morning walk and exercise, you gradually train your mind to take the important-but-unpleasant task first and let other interesting activities of the day wait till your difficult but important job is over. If you follow this regime, you will find that even the other daily activities throughout the day become more enjoyable.”

“The cow eats grass anywhere and never eats anything else. In short, the cow does fulfill the materialist theory of history: that is why the cow has no history. “A History of Cows” would be one of the simplest and briefest of standard works. But if some cows thought it wicked to eat long grass and persecuted all who did so; if the cow with the crumpled horn were worshipped by some cows and gored to death by others; if cows began to have obvious moral preferences over and above a desire for grass, then cows would begin to have a history. They would also begin to have a highly unpleasant time, which is perhaps the same thing.”
