I have too many favorite quotes to be normal, but the one that I actually remember is this...
"Aim for the sun, and you may not reach, but your arrow will fly far higher than if you had aimed at an object level with yourself."
There are so many more, I have a whole book of them. I'll be back when I work up the motivation to bring it downstairs..

we should make a post in writing challenge or word games called "bush on" eleuth. I think it'd be a great challenge/word game.
People could try and make ones that people would read and not even bat an eyelid in regards to if he really said it or not. And perhaps throw a few real ones he has said into the mix and people have to guess which are real and which are fakes.

I set up a thread called 'Bushisms' in the word games, but no one was playing so I deleted it after a couple of days. I'll post it again.

It's rather like a puddle waking up one morning— I know they don't normally do this, but allow me, I'm a science fiction writer— A puddle wakes up one morning and thinks: "This is a very interesting world I find myself in. It fits me very neatly. In fact it fits me so neatly... I mean really precise isn't it?... It must have been made to have me in it." And the sun rises, and it's continuing to narrate this story about how this hole must have been made to have him in it. And as the sun rises, and gradually the puddle is shrinking and shrinking and shrinking— and by the time the puddle ceases to exist, it's still thinking— it's still trapped in this idea that— that the hole was there for it. And if we think that the world is here for us we will continue to destroy it in the way that we have been destroying it, because we think that we can do no harm.
Douglas Adams
