There's better lines, especially some of the dialouge, but that would require looking, and therefore, effort.
I was thinking of posting some Hitchhiker's Guide quotes. Here's my personal favorite, from the beginning of So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish.

"And as he drove on, the rain clouds dragged down the sky after him for, though he did not know it, Rob McKenna was a Rain God. All her knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him and to water him."
