Just sick enough to be totally confident
Hunter S. Thompson
I've already become a mastodon in print - I don't see a consciousness for my kind of journalism.
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
Sportswriters are a rude and brainless subculture of fascist drunks
Hunter S. Thompson
You took too much man, too much, too much.
Hunter S. Thompson
There is no fool like a careless gambler who starts taking victory for granted.
Hunter S. Thompson
Ah, lives there a man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said As he hunched and rolled in his comfortable bed: To hell with the rent . . . I'll drink instead!
Hunter S. Thompson
Fear is just another word for ignorance.
Hunter S. Thompson
If there is in fact, a heaven and a hell, all we know for sure is that hell will be a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix.
Hunter S. Thompson
Never turn your back on fear. It should always be in front of you, like a thing that might have to be killed.
Hunter S. Thompson
In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone.
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
I wanted to take off all my clothes and never wear them again.
Hunter S. Thompson
If you consider the great journalists in history, you don't see too many objective journalists on that list.
Hunter S. Thompson
Given my calling I had to stumble across people who felt the same way. I was a young reporter.
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.
Hunter S. Thompson
The real power in America is held by a fast-emerging new Oligarchy of pimps and preachers who see no need for Democracy or fairness or even trees, except maybe the ones in their own yards, and they don't mind admitting it.
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
And the whole Bush family, from Texas, should be boiled in poisoned oil.
Hunter S. Thompson
Good news is rare these days, and every glittering ounce of it should be cherished and hoarded and worshipped and fondled like a priceless diamond.
Hunter S. Thompson
