There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death?
Hunter S. Thompson
The world is still a weird place, despite my efforts to make clear and perfect sense of it.
Hunter S. Thompson
As your attorney, it is my duty to inform you that it is not important that you understand what I'm doing or why you're paying me so much money. What's important is that you continue to do so.

Hunter S. Thompson
The highways are crowded with people who drive as if their sole purpose in getting behind the wheel is to avenge every wrong done them by man, beast or fate. The only thing that keeps them in line is their fear of death, jail and lawsuits.
Hunter S. Thompson
Some people will tell you that slow is good - but I'm here to tell you that fast is better.
Hunter S. Thompson
You can't miss what you never had.

[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.

On my tombstone they will carve, IT NEVER GOT FAST ENOUGH FOR ME.
