More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
One of them is knowing the difference between Morality and Wisdom. Morality is temporary, Wisdom is permanent… Ho ho. Take that one to bed with you tonight.
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.

Sportswriters are a rude and brainless subculture of fascist drunks

I believe the Republicans have never thought that democracy was anything but a tribal myth.
Hunter S. Thompson
To give advice to a man who asks what to do with his life implies something very close to egomania. To presume to point a man to the right and ultimate goal - to point with a trembling finger in the RIGHT direction is something only a fool would take upon himself.

Hunter S. Thompson
I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.
Hunter S. Thompson
The regrets I have are so minor. You know, would I leave my Keith Richards hat, with the silver skull on it, on the stool at the coffee shop at LaGuardia? I wouldn't do that again. But overall, no, I don't have any regrets.
Hunter S. Thompson
Bush is a natural-born loser with a filthy-rich daddy who pimped his son out to rich oil-mongers. He hates music, football and sex, in no particular order, and he is no fun at all.
Hunter S. Thompson
Hit him again, Jack! He's crazy!
Hunter S. Thompson
Nixon was a professional politician, and I despised everything he stood for -- but if he were running for president this year against the evil Bush-Cheney gang, I would happily vote for him.

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
In four short years he has turned our country from a prosperous nation at peace into a desperately indebted nation at war. But so what? He is the President of the United States, and you're not. Love it or leave it.
Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson
