More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body.
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.

We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear

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.

Hunter S. Thompson
Call on God, but row away from the rocks.
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
Never create anything, it will be misinterpreted, it will chain you and follow you for the rest of your life.
Hunter S. Thompson
The only difference between the sane and the insane is that the sane have the power to lock up the insane.
Hunter S. Thompson
Nixon had the unique ability to make his enemies seem honorable, and we developed a keen sense of fraternity. Some of my best friends have hated Nixon all their lives. My mother hates Nixon, my son hates Nixon, I hate Nixon, and this hatred has brought us together.
Hunter S. Thompson
It was the kind of town that made you feel like Humphrey Bogart: you came in on a bumpy little plane, and, for some mysterious reason, got a private room with a balcony overlooking the town and the harbor then you sat there and drank until something happened.
Hunter S. Thompson
And the whole Bush family, from Texas, should be boiled in poisoned oil.
Hunter S. Thompson
There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment.
Hunter S. Thompson
Fiction is based on reality unless you're a fairytale artist.

It never got weird enough for me.
