Quotation Game

[unKeMPt]

I thought this might possibly liven things up. Someone names one quote, another guesses, then the one with the right answer gives a new one or lets someone else give it a go. There have to be some ground rules, though. Let's work on the honors system and promise not to use Google, huh? And let's try to stick to books that at least a fair number of people have read. No point in even trying if you're the only person who's read it. Finally, unless you're absolutely certain that you're correct, don't immediately post your new quote. At least wait for confirmation. Okay, now that that's done...

Let me start off with:

So [said the doctor]. Now vee may perhaps to begin. Yes?

 

[never_know]

Portnoy's Complaint by Philip Roth am I right???

 

[unKeMPt]

i hope this won't be obvious:

"a towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value."
