More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson
The possibility of physical and mental collapse is very real now... but collapse is out of the question as a solution or even a cheap alternative, it is unacceptable. No sympathy for the devil keep that in mind.
Hunter S. Thompson
There is no way to understand the public reaction to the sight of a Freak smashing a coconut with a hammer on the hood of a white Cadillac in a Safeway parking lot unless you actually do it, and I tell you it's tense.
Hunter S. Thompson
Good news is rare these days, and every glittering ounce of it should be cherished and hoarded and worshipped and fondled like a priceless diamond.
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
Any candidate who'd offered a real possibility of an alternative to Nixon - someone with a different concept of the presidency - could have challenged him and come very close to beating him.
Hunter S. Thompson
If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people - including me - would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.
Hunter S. Thompson
The waitress had the appearance of a very old hooker who had finally found her place in life
Hunter S. Thompson
Journalism, to me, is just another drug - a free ride to scenes I'd probably miss if I stayed straight.
