Quote comp – Q8 answer and Q9 in OD

I did not think this one was so difficult. If you remember the quote was this:
“Except, if it happened, it seems that the question and the answer would just cancel each other out and take the Universe with them, which would then be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable.”

The first guess (of sorts) came from Cosmic:
Damn I know what that’s from!!I gotta go check all my books n stuff now but I have an idea it may be from jurassic park. I think I’m probably wrong though! [Cosmic]

You were right that it was a book, but not Jurassic Park. Next was Corbeau:
Grr, I feel like this came from “Dogma” but I just finished scanning through my script and I can’t find it in there. What’s the answer?!?!? IT’s gonna drive me batty. ~ [Corbeau]

Corbeau decided to try again:
HAHA! I have figured it out. *does a little dance* HAHA!!! It was driving me crazy. CRAZY! I knew I had heard it somewhere before. It’s from: “The HitchHiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams. Hee hee hee! Yahoo! *snoopy dances* Thank you for the blatant hint in your entry

“Randomness” ~ [Corbeau]

I do not give out blatant hints. Corbeau has the right author and book series. But the book title is wrong. It is said by Prak at the end of ‘Life, the universe and everything’ which is the third book in the HHGTG five part trilogy. The rest of the quote says:
“It is possible that this has already happened, but there is a tremendos amount of Uncertainty about it.”

Next quote. This is the one I was going to use last week, before changing my mind. And it goes:
“I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered.”

You have the next seven days.
