More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
I was not proud of what I had learned but I never doubted that it was worth knowing.
Hunter S. Thompson
I am a generous man, by nature, and far more trusting than I should be. Indeed. The real world is risky territory for people with generosity of spirit. Beware.
Hunter S. Thompson
People think I watch TV too much, but they are wrong. There is a huge difference between merely watching TV and learning to respond aggressively to it. The difference, for most people, is the difference between the living and dying of their own brains.
Hunter S. Thompson
There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment.
Hunter S. Thompson
I have always hated bowling, and I don't mind admitting it.
Hunter S. Thompson
Morality is temporary, wisdom is permanent.
Hunter S. Thompson
I think I'm going to have to get a flying license very soon, and maybe one of those Lear jets. It beats motorcycles all to hell.
Hunter S. Thompson
I think you either have to have a very strong decisive person at the top or else a really brilliant staff command.

Good people drink good beer.
Hunter S. Thompson
She was wearing the same clothes, but now she looked haggard and dirty. The delicate illusions that get us through life can only stand so much strain.
Hunter S. Thompson
The possibility of physical and mental collapse is very real now... but collapse is out of the question as a solution or even a cheap alternative, it is unacceptable. No sympathy for the devil keep that in mind.
Hunter S. Thompson
Never turn your back on fear. It should always be in front of you, like a thing that might have to be killed.
Hunter S. Thompson
Perceive is the word that became in the '72 campaign what charisma was for the 1960, '64 and even the '68 campaigns. Perceive is the new key word. When you say perceive you imply the difference between what the candidate is and the way the public or the voters see him.
Hunter S. Thompson
Writing is the flip side of sex - it's good only when it's over.
Hunter S. Thompson
I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.
Hunter S. Thompson
[Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas] is a very hard book to translate to film because there's so much interior monologue. The what if factor. I tried to write it cinematically and let the dialogue carry it but I forgot about the interior monologue. It's kind of hard to show what's going on in the head. I think we should do it like a documentary.
Hunter S. Thompson
Houston is a cruel, crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning laws and a culture of sex, money and violence. It's a shabby, sprawling metropolis ruled by brazen women, crooked cops and super-rich pansexual cowboys who live by the code of the West -- which can mean just about anything you need it to mean, in a pinch.
Hunter S. Thompson
No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.
Hunter S. Thompson
We can't stop here, this is bat country!
Hunter S. Thompson
I noticed at once that Depp had a dangerously energized intelligence . . . He was a suave little brute, but he had a wicked sense of humor and a rare instinct for escalation.
