| life is wasted on the living Per la vida es perd la vida Explanation: No sé si la frase s'ha traduït com a cita de Doublas Adams, però el meu pare deia que la seva mare sovint deia que "per la vida es perd la vida", que em sembla que reflecteix el sentit de la frase anglesa. |

| life is wasted on the living els vius no valoren prou la meravella que és la vida Explanation: That would be my take on this phrase. It IS by the Blessed Douglas and it's from the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". But I'm afraid I am not holy enough to give you chapter and verse ;-) |
