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
I don't think that my kind of journalism has ever been universally popular. It's lonely out here.
Hunter S. Thompson
I need beaches, and blackness, and moonlit nakedness.
Hunter S. Thompson
A man never stoops so low as when he rises to the challenge of politics.

Fiction is based on reality unless you're a fairytale artist.
Hunter S. Thompson
No one HAS to do something he doesn’t want to do for the rest of his life. But then again, if that’s what you wind up doing, by all means convince yourself that you HAD to do it. You’ll have lots of company.

The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.
Hunter S. Thompson
Jesus! Did I SAY that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me? I glanced over at my attorney, but he seemed oblivious.
Hunter S. Thompson
I measure my life in pages. If I have pages at dawn, it's been a good night.
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
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
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
In San Francisco - life goes on. Hope rises and dreams flicker and die. Love plans for tomorrow and loneliness thinks of yesterday. Life is beautiful and living is pain. The sound of music floats down a dark street. A young girl looks out a window and wishes she were married. A drunk sleeps under a bridge. It is tomorrow.
Hunter S. Thompson
As your attorney, it is my duty to inform you that it is not important that you understand what I'm doing or why you're paying me so much money. What's important is that you continue to do so.
Hunter S. Thompson
I am a generous man, by nature, and far more trusting than I should be. Indeed. The real world is risky territory for people with generosity of spirit. Beware.
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
Perceive is the word that became in the '72 campaign what charisma was for the 1960, '64 and even the '68 campaigns. Perceive is the new key word. When you say perceive you imply the difference between what the candidate is and the way the public or the voters see him.
Hunter S. Thompson
There is no fool like a careless gambler who starts taking victory for granted.
Hunter S. Thompson
We cannot expect people to have respect for law and order until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws.
