All advice can only be a product of the man who gives it.
Hunter S. Thompson
It's the difference between watching a football game between two teams you don't care about, and watching a game where you have some kind of personal identity with one of the teams, if only a huge bet.

The regrets I have are so minor. You know, would I leave my Keith Richards hat, with the silver skull on it, on the stool at the coffee shop at LaGuardia? I wouldn't do that again. But overall, no, I don't have any regrets.

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
The thing that was important to me about Hemingway at the time was that Hemingway taught me that you could be a writer and get away with it.
Hunter S. Thompson
She was wearing the same clothes, but now she looked haggard and dirty. The delicate illusions that get us through life can only stand so much strain.
Hunter S. Thompson
The only difference between the sane and the insane is that the sane have the power to lock up the insane.
Hunter S. Thompson
History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of history it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody understands at the time--and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened.
Hunter S. Thompson
I think I'm going to have to get a flying license very soon, and maybe one of those Lear jets. It beats motorcycles all to hell.
Hunter S. Thompson
Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
Hunter S. Thompson
It's much more fun to run a political campaign than it is to be the candidate.
Hunter S. Thompson
There is nothing worse than a man in the throws of an ether bender.
Hunter S. Thompson
You'd be surprised at the things people will do in order to get their names or pictures in the paper.
