Notes"A few turnings later and I was thoroughly lost. There is a school of thought which says that you should consult a map on these occasions, but to such people I merely say, ‘Ha! What if you have no map to consult? What if you have a map but it’s of the Dordogne?’
My own strategy is to find a car, or the nearest equivalent, which looks as if it knows where it is going and follow it. I rarely end up where I was intending to go, but often I end up somewhere that I needed to be.
"Dirk Gently in The Long Dark Tea-TIme of the Soul by Douglas Adams
this was originally only the last sentence and cited directly to adams, but i do not know if he himself ever spoke those words directly. however, they are spoken by his character Dirk Gently in his novel The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul (which i highly recommend). [x]
the quote itself also should be taken in context with Dirk Gently’s style. if you want a feel for it, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency [x] would be the place to go (or you can just read the title).
or more about his navigation method.
