I got tired and embarrassed by the constant poverty of those years. I told Doug [ Brinkley] this is really going to be a horrible downer of a book [The Proud Highway] if all it's going to be is about being broke. I didn't like being reminded of desperation at all times.

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
All gamblers lose regularly, but they rarely discuss it in public. Losing is bad for the image, dude. Nobody buys Hot Tips from Losers. Remember that.

Perceive is the word that became in the '72 campaign what charisma was for the 1960, '64 and even the '68 campaigns. Perceive is the new key word. When you say perceive you imply the difference between what the candidate is and the way the public or the voters see him.
