Hunter S. Thompson
The highways are crowded with people who drive as if their sole purpose in getting behind the wheel is to avenge every wrong done them by man, beast or fate. The only thing that keeps them in line is their fear of death, jail and lawsuits.
Hunter S. Thompson
Fiction is based on reality unless you're a fairytale artist.

In San Francisco - life goes on. Hope rises and dreams flicker and die. Love plans for tomorrow and loneliness thinks of yesterday. Life is beautiful and living is pain.

All my life, my heart has sought a thing I cannot name. Remembered line from a long- forgotten poem
Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson
...the crazy never die.
Hunter S. Thompson
Fear is just another word for ignorance.
Hunter S. Thompson
Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

Hunter S. Thompson
All advice can only be a product of the man who gives it.
Hunter S. Thompson
There are always risks in challenging excessive police power, but the risks of not challenging it are more dangerous, even fatal.
Hunter S. Thompson
Justice is expensive in America. There are no Free Passes... You might want to remember this, the next time you get careless and blow off a few Parking Tickets. They will come back to haunt you the next time you see a Cop car in your rear-view mirror.
