More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Ah, that we lack the courage of our romantic convictions and thereby miss the wine of life, forgoing the very thing that makes living worthwhile.

This is the fast lane, folks...and some of us like it here.

Hunter S. Thompson
Some people will tell you that slow is good - but I'm here to tell you that fast is better. I've always believed this, in spite of the trouble it's caused me. Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba.

Hunter S. Thompson
Turn the goddam music up! My heart feels like an alligator!
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.

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
I've always considered writing the most hateful kind of work. I suspect it's a bit like fucking - which is fun only for amateurs. Old whores don't do much giggling.
Hunter S. Thompson
The Hell's Angels try not to do anything halfway, and anyone who deals in extremes is bound to cause trouble, whether he means to or not. This, along with a belief in total retaliation for any offense or insult, is what makes the Hell's Angels unmanageable for the police and morbidly fascinating to the general public.
Hunter S. Thompson
Las Vegas makes Reno seem like your friendly neighborhood grocery store.
Hunter S. Thompson
Like most of the others, I was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hell-raiser.
