More quotes by 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
Like most of the others, I was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hell-raiser.
Hunter S. Thompson
No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.
Hunter S. Thompson
People think I watch TV too much, but they are wrong. There is a huge difference between merely watching TV and learning to respond aggressively to it. The difference, for most people, is the difference between the living and dying of their own brains.
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
I am a generous man, by nature, and far more trusting than I should be. Indeed. The real world is risky territory for people with generosity of spirit. Beware.
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
The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
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
A word to the wise is infuriating.
Hunter S. Thompson
We are all wired into a survival trip, now.
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
But our trip was different. It was a classic affirmation of everything right and true and decent in the national character. It was a gross, physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country-but only for those with true grit. And we were chock full of that.
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
There's no point in getting into politics at all unless you plan to lash things around.
Hunter S. Thompson
To give advice to a man who asks what to do with his life implies something very close to egomania. To presume to point a man to the right and ultimate goal - to point with a trembling finger in the RIGHT direction is something only a fool would take upon himself.
Hunter S. Thompson
There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge.
Hunter S. Thompson
I think you either have to have a very strong decisive person at the top or else a really brilliant staff command.
Hunter S. Thompson
[Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas] is a very hard book to translate to film because there's so much interior monologue. The what if factor. I tried to write it cinematically and let the dialogue carry it but I forgot about the interior monologue. It's kind of hard to show what's going on in the head. I think we should do it like a documentary.
Hunter S. Thompson
There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment.
Hunter S. Thompson
