More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Call on God, but row away from the rocks.
Hunter S. Thompson
Some people will tell you that slow is good - but I'm here to tell you that fast is better. I've always believed this, in spite of the trouble it's caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba.

Hunter S. Thompson
It was the kind of town that made you feel like Humphrey Bogart: you came in on a bumpy little plane, and, for some mysterious reason, got a private room with a balcony overlooking the town and the harbor then you sat there and drank until something happened.
Hunter S. Thompson
I was not proud of what I had learned but I never doubted that it was worth knowing.
Hunter S. Thompson
On some nights, I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.
Hunter S. Thompson
You took too much man, too much, too much.
Hunter S. Thompson
It's much more fun to run a political campaign than it is to be the candidate.
Hunter S. Thompson
Fiction is based on reality unless you're a fairytale artist.
Hunter S. Thompson
I have never believed much in luck, and my sense of humor has tended to walk on the dark side.
