More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
There might be some serious fun in politics.
Hunter S. Thompson
As far as I'm concerned, it's a damned shame that a field as potentially dynamic and vital as journalism should be overrun with dullards, bums, and hacks, hag-ridden with myopia, apathy, and complacence, and generally stuck in a bog of stagnant mediocrity.
Hunter S. Thompson
There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning.
Hunter S. Thompson
They say that he who flies highest, falls farthest - and who am I to argue? But we can't forget that he who doesn't flap his wings, never flies at all.
Hunter S. Thompson
The world is still a weird place, despite my efforts to make clear and perfect sense of it.
Hunter S. Thompson
Words are such a poor medium when you really want someone to feel something.
Hunter S. Thompson
Nixon was a professional politician, and I despised everything he stood for -- but if he were running for president this year against the evil Bush-Cheney gang, I would happily vote for him.
Hunter S. Thompson
Whatever he might have denied me was unimportant it was the fact that he could deny me anything at all, even what I didn't want
Hunter S. Thompson
The waitress had the appearance of a very old hooker who had finally found her place in life
Hunter S. Thompson
Revenge is one of the few things in politics that never gets lost in the mail or written off for a dime on the dollar like losers' campaign debts or pledges to help the Poor.
Hunter S. Thompson
[Where the Buffalo Roam is] horrible pile of crap. [Bill] Murray did a good job. But it was a bad script. You can't beat a bad script. It was just a horrible movie. A cartoon. But Bill Murray did a good job. We actually wrote and shot several different endings and beginnings and they all got cut out in the end. It was disappointing.
Hunter S. Thompson
On my tombstone they will carve, IT NEVER GOT FAST ENOUGH FOR ME.
Hunter S. Thompson
My blood is too thick for California: I have never been able to properly explain myself in this climate.
Hunter S. Thompson
I miss Nixon. Compared to these Nazis we have in the White House now, Richard Nixon was a flaming liberal.
Hunter S. Thompson
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
Hunter S. Thompson
Paranoia is just another mask for ignorance. The truth, when you finally chase it down is almost always far worse than your darkest visions and fears
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
There’s a lot of things wrong with this country, but one of the few things still right with it is that a man can steer clear of the organized bullshit if he really wants to. It’s a goddamned luxury, and if I were you, I’d take advantage of it while you can.
Hunter S. Thompson
Nixon was no more a saint than he was a great president.
Hunter S. Thompson
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
