Las Vegas makes Reno seem like your friendly neighborhood grocery store.
Hunter S. Thompson
I guess that's one of the things about growing up in the fifties - it never occurred to me that you wouldn't be at least as successful as your parents.
Hunter S. Thompson
The downward spiral of Dumbness in America is about to hit a new low.
Hunter S. Thompson
I need beaches, and blackness, and moonlit nakedness.
Hunter S. Thompson
Sex, drugs, and insanity have always worked for me, but I wouldn't recommend them for everyone.
Hunter S. Thompson
It was the Law of the Sea, they said. Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not always right at the top.
Hunter S. Thompson
There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death?
Hunter S. Thompson
The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.
Hunter S. Thompson
All my life, my heart has sought a thing I cannot name. Remembered line from a long- forgotten poem
Hunter S. Thompson
I don't think that my kind of journalism has ever been universally popular. It's lonely out here.
Hunter S. Thompson
I wanted to take off all my clothes and never wear them again.
Hunter S. Thompson
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
Hunter S. Thompson
The only difference between the sane and the insane is that the sane have the power to lock up the insane.
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
An outlaw can be defined as somebody who lives outside the law, beyond the law and not necessarily against it.
Hunter S. Thompson
Call on God, but row away from the rocks.
Hunter S. Thompson
People think I watch TV too much, but they are wrong. There is a huge difference between merely watching TV and learning to respond aggressively to it. The difference, for most people, is the difference between the living and dying of their own brains.
Hunter S. Thompson
I think I'm one of the most patriotic people that I've ever encountered in America. I consider myself a bedrock patriot. I participate very actively in local politics, because my voice might be worthwhile. I participate in a meaningful way - not by donations I work at it.
Hunter S. Thompson
Every reaction is a learning process every significant experience alters your perspective. So it would seem foolish, would it not, to adjust our lives to the demands of a goal we see from a different angle everyday? How could we ever hope to accomplish anything anther than galloping neurosis?
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
