Notable quotes

“Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”
— Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time (2002), p. 95.
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”
— Ecclesiastes 1:9 KJV
“Would I had phrases that are not known, utterances that are strange, in new language that has not been used, free from repetition, not an utterance that has grown stale, which men of old have spoken.”
— Khakheperresenb quoted in The Burden of the Past and the English Poet (1970) by Walter Jackson Bate.
“Afrique est coustumiere toujours choses produire nouvelles et monstrueuses.”
— It is the custom of Africa always to produce new and monstrous things.
“Sehen Sie, die beste Neuigkeit verliert, sobald sie Stadtmärchen wird.”
— Observe, the best of novelties palls when it becomes town talk.
“What is valuable is not new, and what is new is not valuable.”
— Daniel Webster, at Marshfield (Sept. 1, 1848). Criticism of the platform of the Free Soil party. Phrase used in Edinburgh Review by Lord Brougham in an article on the work of Dr. Thomas Young.
