„Неужели недостаточно, что сад очарователен; неужели нужно шарить по его задворкам в поисках фей?“
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?

Дуглас Ноэль Адамс Цитаты о Вселенной
имеет ту же самую форму, что и сама лужа.
To illustrate the vain conceit that the universe must be somehow preordained for us, because we are so well suited to live in it, he mimed a wonderfully funny imitation of a puddle of water, fitting itself snugly into a depression in the ground, the depression uncannily being exactly the same shape as the puddle.

“The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it which the merely improbable lacks.”

Контексте: What was the Sherlock Holmes principle? 'Once you have discounted the impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.'
I reject that entirely. The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it which the merely improbable lacks. How often have you been presented with an apparently rational explanation of something that works in all respects other than one, which is just that it is hopelessly improbable? Your instinct is to say 'Yes, but he or she simply wouldn't do that.
