More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning.
Hunter S. Thompson
And in fact the only way I can deal with this eerie situation at all is to make a conscious decision that I have already lived and finished the life I planned to live - and everything from now on will be A New Life, a different thing, a gig that ends tonight and starts tomorrow morning.
Hunter S. Thompson
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
Hunter S. Thompson
I was kind of relieved with the way the book [The Proud Highway] came out. It's beyond an autobiography or a biography. I never knew what was going to come up next.

Marathon running, like golf, is a game for players, not winners. That is why Callaway sells golf clubs and Nike sells running shoes. But running is unique in that the world's best racers are on the same course, at the same time, as amateurs, who have as much chance of winning as your average weekend warrior would scoring a touchdown in the NFL.
Hunter S. Thompson
In San Francisco - life goes on. Hope rises and dreams flicker and die. Love plans for tomorrow and loneliness thinks of yesterday. Life is beautiful and living is pain. The sound of music floats down a dark street. A young girl looks out a window and wishes she were married. A drunk sleeps under a bridge. It is tomorrow.
Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson
I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.
Hunter S. Thompson
Good news is rare these days, and every glittering ounce of it should be cherished and hoarded and worshipped and fondled like a priceless diamond.
Hunter S. Thompson
The room was very quiet. I walked over to the TV set and turned it on to a dead channel-white noise at maximum decibels, a fine sound for sleeping, a powerful continuous hiss to drown out everything strange.
Hunter S. Thompson
There is no fool like a careless gambler who starts taking victory for granted.
Hunter S. Thompson
Most people who deal in words don't have much faith in them and I am no exception.
Hunter S. Thompson
All the blood is drained out of democracy - it dies - when only half the population votes.
Hunter S. Thompson
Which is not really a hell of a lot to ask, Lord, because the final incredible truth is that I am not guilty. All I did was take your gibberish seriously... and you see where it got me? My primitive Christian instincts have made me a criminal.
Hunter S. Thompson
I believe the Republicans have never thought that democracy was anything but a tribal myth.
Hunter S. Thompson
Las Vegas is the savage heart of the American Dream.
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
