The two I can think of off the top of my head are [Douglas Adams](https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/3078186-the-hitchhiker-s-guide-to-the-galaxy-hitchhiker-s-guide-to-the-galaxy) (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Dirk Gently, et al.) > “Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was _Oh no, not again_. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.” > > “The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy also mentions alcohol. It says that the best drink in existence is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, the effect of which is like having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.” and [PG Wodehouse](http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/jeeves) (The Jeeves and Wooster series, among others). > “When it comes to letting the world in on the secrets of his heart, he has about as much shrinking reticence as a steam calliope.” > > “She looked like a tomato struggling for self-expression.”
