More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
...the crazy never die.
Hunter S. Thompson
That is the problem with this rich and anguished generation. Somewhere a long time ago they fell in love with the idea that politicians- even the slickest and brightest presidential candidates- were real heroes and truly exciting people. That is wrong on its face. They are mainly dull people with corrupt instincts and criminal children.
Hunter S. Thompson
The first paragraph. The last paragraph. That's where the story is going and how it's going to end. Or else you'll go off in a hundred different directions.
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
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
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.
Hunter S. Thompson
Journalism, to me, is just another drug - a free ride to scenes I'd probably miss if I stayed straight.
Hunter S. Thompson
I have always hated bowling, and I don't mind admitting it.
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
Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of 'the rat race' is not yet final.
Hunter S. Thompson
The room was very quiet. I walked over to the TV set and turned it on to a dead channel-white noise at maximum decibels, a fine sound for sleeping, a powerful continuous hiss to drown out everything strange.
Hunter S. Thompson
Women are terrified of being raped, but somewhere in the back of the womb there is one rebellious nerve end that tingles with curiosity whenever the word is mentioned.
Hunter S. Thompson
Any combination of a 250-pound Mexican and LSD-25 is a potentially terminal menace for anything it can reach
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 never knew where I was going, but I ripped the tits off of everything that got in my way. By the time they figured me out, it was too late.
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
At the top of the mountain we are all snow leopards.
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
Sportswriters are a rude and brainless subculture of fascist drunks
Hunter S. Thompson
A little bit of this town goes a very long way. After five days in Vegas you feel like you've been here for five years.
Hunter S. Thompson
