Hunter S. Thompson
I'll call New York for some cash.
Hunter S. Thompson
The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It's come to the point where you almost can't run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics.

Hunter S. Thompson
Never turn your back on fear. It should always be in front of you, like a thing that might have to be killed.
