More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
[Where the Buffalo Roam is] horrible pile of crap. [Bill] Murray did a good job. But it was a bad script. You can't beat a bad script. It was just a horrible movie. A cartoon. But Bill Murray did a good job. We actually wrote and shot several different endings and beginnings and they all got cut out in the end. It was disappointing.

Hunter S. Thompson
Never create anything, it will be misinterpreted, it will chain you and follow you for the rest of your life.
Hunter S. Thompson
Like most of the others, I was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hell-raiser.
Hunter S. Thompson
There is a progression of understanding vis-à-vis pro football that varies drastically with the factor of distance --physical, emotional, intellectual and every other way. . . Which is exactly the way it should be . . .

Allen [ Ginsberg] was a particular friend, one of my heroes, really. I knew him almost as long as I've been writing.
Hunter S. Thompson
I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.
Hunter S. Thompson
The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It's come to the point where you almost can't run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics.

This is the fast lane, folks...and some of us like it here.
Hunter S. Thompson
Ah, that we lack the courage of our romantic convictions and thereby miss the wine of life, forgoing the very thing that makes living worthwhile.
Hunter S. Thompson
The Raiders of old were vicious and crazy and cruel. Hanging around their locker room was like hanging around the weight room at Folsom Prison.

The only difference between the sane and the insane is that the sane have the power to lock up the insane.
