Gonzo journalism is a style of reporting based on William Faulkner's idea that the best fiction is far more true than any kind of journalism.
Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson
Duke is an ugly word in Kentucky. Nothing in the world compares to the joy of beating those hateful swine from Duke.
Hunter S. Thompson
All the blood is drained out of democracy - it dies - when only half the population votes.
Hunter S. Thompson
