More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
Hunter S. Thompson
[Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas] is a very hard book to translate to film because there's so much interior monologue. The what if factor. I tried to write it cinematically and let the dialogue carry it but I forgot about the interior monologue. It's kind of hard to show what's going on in the head. I think we should do it like a documentary.
Hunter S. Thompson
Women are terrified of being raped, but somewhere in the back of the womb there is one rebellious nerve end that tingles with curiosity whenever the word is mentioned.
Hunter S. Thompson
It never got weird enough for me.
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
There's a terrible danger in voting for the lesser of two evils because the parties can set it up that way.
Hunter S. Thompson
Bush is a natural-born loser with a filthy-rich daddy who pimped his son out to rich oil-mongers. He hates music, football and sex, in no particular order, and he is no fun at all.
Hunter S. Thompson
A man never stoops so low as when he rises to the challenge of politics.
Hunter S. Thompson
I think George Washington owned guns. I've never seen any contradiction with that.
Hunter S. Thompson
Good people drink good beer.
Hunter S. Thompson
Which is not really a hell of a lot to ask, Lord, because the final incredible truth is that I am not guilty. All I did was take your gibberish seriously... and you see where it got me? My primitive Christian instincts have made me a criminal.
Hunter S. Thompson
That is the problem with this rich and anguished generation. Somewhere a long time ago they fell in love with the idea that politicians- even the slickest and brightest presidential candidates- were real heroes and truly exciting people. That is wrong on its face. They are mainly dull people with corrupt instincts and criminal children.
Hunter S. Thompson
I may sound a little black, but I'm really pretty well adjusted.
Hunter S. Thompson
I would feel real trapped in this life if I didn't know I could commit suicide at any time.
Hunter S. Thompson
My blood is too thick for California: I have never been able to properly explain myself in this climate.
Hunter S. Thompson
At the top of the mountain we are all snow leopards.
Hunter S. Thompson
A man who has blown all his options can't afford the luxury of changing his ways. He has to capitalize on whatever he has left, and he can't afford to admit - no matter how often he's reminded of it - that every day of his life takes him farther and farther down a blind alley.
Hunter S. Thompson
Some people will tell you that slow is good - but I'm here to tell you that fast is better.
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
There is nothing worse than a man in the throws of an ether bender.
