    “Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.” ― Douglas Adams

    (Copied from an online source because I never remember the exact wording.)

    One of the Easter eggs of this quote is that when it was uttered in the 1980s BBC TV adaptation, the scene cuts to a man, seen only from the back, disposing of his clothes and possessions and walking naked into the ocean. That man was Douglas Adams.
