More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!
Hunter S. Thompson
A man who has blown all his options can't afford the luxury of changing his ways. He has to capitalize on whatever he has left, and he can't afford to admit - no matter how often he's reminded of it - that every day of his life takes him farther and farther down a blind alley.

Hunter S. Thompson
The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now & with somebody & and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.
Hunter S. Thompson
The most important thing a writer can have [is] the ability to live with the constant loneliness and a strong sense of revulsion for the banalities of everyday socializing.
Hunter S. Thompson
Most people who deal in words don't have much faith in them and I am no exception.
Hunter S. Thompson
Allen [ Ginsberg] was a particular friend, one of my heroes, really. I knew him almost as long as I've been writing.
Hunter S. Thompson
Love plans for tomorrow and loneliness thinks of yesterday.

Nixon was no more a saint than he was a great president.
Hunter S. Thompson
I have long admired Ron Whitehead. He is crazy as nine loons, and his poetry is a dazzling mix of folk wisdom and pure mathematics
Hunter S. Thompson
I wanted to take off all my clothes and never wear them again.
Hunter S. Thompson
If you can't make yourself understood by your friends, you'll be in trouble when your enemies come for you.
Hunter S. Thompson
We are living in dangerously weird times now. Smart people just shrug and admit they're dazed and confused. The only ones left with any confidence at all are the New Dumb. It is the beginning of the end of our world as we knew it. Doom is the operative ethic.

I've been studying drugs for years.

We are all wired into a survival trip, now.
