More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
It never got weird enough for me.
Hunter S. Thompson
This is the fast lane, folks...and some of us like it here.
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
Without gambling, I would not exist.
Hunter S. Thompson
Beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life.
Hunter S. Thompson
I wanted to take off all my clothes and never wear them again.
Hunter S. Thompson
I have learned, in my life and work as a sportswriter, that big-time Sports and big-time Politics are not so far apart in America. They are both a means to the same end, which is victory... And why not? Victory is good for you, and don't let anybody tell you different.
Hunter S. Thompson
Justice is expensive in America. There are no Free Passes... You might want to remember this, the next time you get careless and blow off a few Parking Tickets. They will come back to haunt you the next time you see a Cop car in your rear-view mirror.
Hunter S. Thompson
The Raiders of old were vicious and crazy and cruel. Hanging around their locker room was like hanging around the weight room at Folsom Prison.
Hunter S. Thompson
I've been studying drugs for years.
Hunter S. Thompson
If you work in either journalism or politics... you will be flogged for being right and flogged for being wrong, and it hurts both ways-but it doesn't hurt as much when you're right.
Hunter S. Thompson
You took too much man, too much, too much.
Hunter S. Thompson
The McGovern/McCarthy type candidacies have disappointed too many people, because of a disillusionment with the candidates themselves.
Hunter S. Thompson
Writing is the flip side of sex - it's good only when it's over.
Hunter S. Thompson
There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death?
Hunter S. Thompson
With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.
Hunter S. Thompson
You can't miss what you never had.
Hunter S. Thompson
And in fact the only way I can deal with this eerie situation at all is to make a conscious decision that I have already lived and finished the life I planned to live - and everything from now on will be A New Life, a different thing, a gig that ends tonight and starts tomorrow morning.
Hunter S. Thompson
A man never stoops so low as when he rises to the challenge of politics.
Hunter S. Thompson
Objective journalism is one of the main reasons that American politics has been allowed to be so corrupt for so long.
