One of my favorite Hitchhiker quotes.

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

They didn’t feel the need to make a complex language, because they were content in keeping their more complex thoughts to themselves.

They did warn one person: Wonko the Sane.
He’s probably my favorite character in all the books.
