More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson

Fear is a healthy instinct, not a sign of weakness. It is a natural self-defense mechanism that is common to felines, wolves, hyenas, and most humans. Even fruit bats know fear, and I salute them for it. If you think the world is weird now, imagine how weird it would be if wild beasts had no fear.

Good people drink good beer.

Richard Nixon looks like a flaming liberal today, compared to a golem like George Bush. Indeed. Where is Richard Nixon now that we finally need him?
Hunter S. Thompson
Most people who deal in words don't have much faith in them and I am no exception.

and the sad notes floated out to the patio and hung in the trees like birds too tired to fly
Hunter S. Thompson
Revenge is one of the few things in politics that never gets lost in the mail or written off for a dime on the dollar like losers' campaign debts or pledges to help the Poor.
