It is the questions, not the answers, that truly matter.

If you “get” this image, you are clearly a fan of one of the ultimate cult novels, “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams.

So many life lessons (who knew towels were so important?), including:

It is the questions, not the answers, that truly matter.

However, to begin at the beginning, any book that starts with this sentence has me hooked:

“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.”

Clearly, digital watches were not a neat idea (who wears a digital watch any more. I mean, who under 40 wears a watch anyway now we have smartphones?), but in 1978 when “HHGTTG” began as a radio comedy, Douglas Adams was far ahead of his time.

Oh, and this genius writing about the Vogon Constructor Fleet spaceships:

“The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don’t.”
