More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
And the whole Bush family, from Texas, should be boiled in poisoned oil.
Hunter S. Thompson
The Hell's Angels try not to do anything halfway, and anyone who deals in extremes is bound to cause trouble, whether he means to or not. This, along with a belief in total retaliation for any offense or insult, is what makes the Hell's Angels unmanageable for the police and morbidly fascinating to the general public.
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
The thing that was important to me about Hemingway at the time was that Hemingway taught me that you could be a writer and get away with it.

Hunter S. Thompson
Not a wasted word. This has been a main point to my literary thinking all my life.
Hunter S. Thompson
All the blood is drained out of democracy - it dies - when only half the population votes.
Hunter S. Thompson
But I am in the gambling business, for good or ill it is the business I have chosen, and the only governing rule that we all recognize is: always sit close to an exit and never trust a man who doesn't sweat.
Hunter S. Thompson
As your attorney, it is my duty to inform you that it is not important that you understand what I'm doing or why you're paying me so much money. What's important is that you continue to do so.
Hunter S. Thompson
Writing is the flip side of sex - it's good only when it's over.
Hunter S. Thompson
Fear is just another word for ignorance.
Hunter S. Thompson
Not everybody is comfortable with the idea that politics is a guilty addiction. But it is.
Hunter S. Thompson
We have bigger things to brood on and enormous reasons for wallowing in terminal craziness until we finally hit bottom.
Hunter S. Thompson
I was once arrested with [Allen] Ginsburg. He was a big help to me. He was one of the few people who read unknown writer's work. Maybe he was just hustling me. He liked to flirt, Allen. They called him a monster but he was only falling in love.
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.
