Hunter S. Thompson
Buy the ticket, take the ride.
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
With the truth so dull and depressing, the only working alternative is wild bursts of madness and filigree.
Hunter S. Thompson
I think I'm going to have to get a flying license very soon, and maybe one of those Lear jets. It beats motorcycles all to hell.

The waitress had the appearance of a very old hooker who had finally found her place in life
Hunter S. Thompson
America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.
