I presume you mean Douglas Adams? I originally considered putting a Hitchhikers quote under the Natl. Geo map of the universe. Maybe I'll do it now...
"Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely
mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road
to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."
