- "Never trust a species that grins all the time. It's up to something."
- ― Terry Pratchett, Pyramids
- "For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much — the wheel, New York, wars and so on — whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man — for precisely the same reasons."
- ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1979), Chapter 23
