Dr Christopher Riche Evans (1931 – 10 October 1979), psychologist and author

"if the motor car had evolved as fast as the computer, and over the same time period, "Today you would be able to buy a Rolls-Royce for £35, it would do three million miles to the gallon, and it would deliver enough power to drive the QE2 And if you were interested in miniaturisation, you could place half a dozen of them on a pinhead."

I can't remember where I heard this one, so I don't have a source, but I've always loved it:

"Statistics are like condoms. No one really likes to use them, but nobody will do science with you if you don't."

Here's one authored by me, inspired by religious people I know.

There is no mind as sick as the righteous, because they see evil in everything but themselves.

Perhaps some Douglas Adams quotes are in order...

"It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes."

"If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands."

"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?"

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

We all win.  In the human race, just to get to compete is surely a prize beyond measure.

On the subject of Douglas Adams quotes how about

'the guide is definitive, reality is frequently inaccurate'

... or not
