More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It's come to the point where you almost can't run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics.
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.

As things stand now, I am going to be a writer. I'm not sure that I'm going to be a good one or even a self-supporting one, but until the dark thumb of fate presses me to the dust and says 'you are nothing', I will be a writer.
Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson
A little bit of this town goes a very long way. After five days in Vegas you feel like you've been here for five years.
Hunter S. Thompson
Sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind but falling in love and not getting arrested.
Hunter S. Thompson
Hit him again, Jack! He's crazy!
Hunter S. Thompson
Jim Harrison is someone I always enjoy, one of the great contemporary writers. I like Tim Ferris' Big Boom Theory. I'm getting into a different kind of reading, not straight novels.
Hunter S. Thompson
We can't stop here, this is bat country!
Hunter S. Thompson
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body.
Hunter S. Thompson
Women are terrified of being raped, but somewhere in the back of the womb there is one rebellious nerve end that tingles with curiosity whenever the word is mentioned.

Gonzo journalism is a style of reporting based on William Faulkner's idea that the best fiction is far more true than any kind of journalism.
Hunter S. Thompson
I had a soft-spot in my heart for Ronald Reagan, if only because he was a sportswriter in his youth.
Hunter S. Thompson
In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.
Hunter S. Thompson
There's a terrible danger in voting for the lesser of two evils because the parties can set it up that way.
Hunter S. Thompson
I am more than just a serious basketball fan. I am a life-long addict. I was addicted from birth, in fact, because I was born in Kentucky and I learned, early on, that Habitual Domination was a natural way of life.
