We cannot expect people to have respect for law and order until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws.
Hunter S. Thompson
I wasn't trying to be an outlaw writer. I never heard of that term somebody else made it up. But we were all outside the law: Kerouac, Miller, Burroughs, Ginsberg, Kesey I didn't have a gauge as to who was the worst outlaw. I just recognized allies: my people.

Hunter S. Thompson
So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?
Hunter S. Thompson
This is the fast lane, folks...and some of us like it here.
Hunter S. Thompson
Nixon was no more a saint than he was a great president.
Hunter S. Thompson
Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning.
Hunter S. Thompson
I have warned many times about the guaranteed dangers of betting with your heart instead of your head - big darkness, soon come - but every once in a while you get a fair chance to have it both ways, and the annual NCAA basketball Tournament is one of them.
Hunter S. Thompson
March is a month without mercy for rabid basketball fans. There is no such thing as a 'gentleman gambler' when the Big Dance rolls around. All sheep will be fleeced, all fools will be punished severely... There are no Rules when the deal goes down in the final weeks of March. Even your good friends will turn into monsters.
Hunter S. Thompson
Wake up and ponder the future
Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson
Not a wasted word. This has been a main point to my literary thinking all my life.
Hunter S. Thompson
Sounds of life and movement, people getting ready and people giving up, the sound of hope and the sound of hanging on, and behind them all, the quiet, deadly ticking of a thousand hungry clocks.
Hunter S. Thompson
