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 hate pain, despite my ability to tolerate it beyond all known parameters, which is not necessarily a good thing.
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
I had a soft-spot in my heart for Ronald Reagan, if only because he was a sportswriter in his youth.
Hunter S. Thompson
The only difference between the sane and the insane is that the sane have the power to lock up the insane.

On some days you get what you want, and on others, you get what you need.
