Hunter S. Thompson
We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and - in spite of True Romance magazines - we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way.
Hunter S. Thompson
Las Vegas makes Reno seem like your friendly neighborhood grocery store.
Hunter S. Thompson
Ah, that we lack the courage of our romantic convictions and thereby miss the wine of life, forgoing the very thing that makes living worthwhile.
Hunter S. Thompson
To make a point of declaring friendship is to cheapen it. For men's emotions are very rarely put into words successfully.

All the blood is drained out of democracy - it dies - when only half the population votes.
Hunter S. Thompson
The real power in America is held by a fast-emerging new Oligarchy of pimps and preachers who see no need for Democracy or fairness or even trees, except maybe the ones in their own yards, and they don't mind admitting it.
Hunter S. Thompson
I wanted to take off all my clothes and never wear them again.

Hunter S. Thompson
The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
Hunter S. Thompson
Sane is rich and powerful. Insane is wrong and poor and weak. The rich are free, the poor are put in cages. Res Ipsa Loquitur, amen. Mahalo.
Hunter S. Thompson
Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel.
Hunter S. Thompson
In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone.
Hunter S. Thompson
[Chicago]: This vicious, stinking zoo, this mean-grinning, mace-smelling boneyard of a city: an elegant rockpile of a monument to everything cruel and stupid and corrupt in the human spirit.
Hunter S. Thompson
Some people will tell you that slow is good - but I'm here to tell you that fast is better.
Hunter S. Thompson
If we get chased out of Iraq with our tail between our legs, that will be the fifth consecutive Third-world country with no hint of a Navy or an Air Force to have whipped us in the past 40 years.
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.
Hunter S. Thompson
Paranoia is just another mask for ignorance. The truth, when you finally chase it down is almost always far worse than your darkest visions and fears
Hunter S. Thompson
