The thing that was important to me about Hemingway at the time was that Hemingway taught me that you could be a writer and get away with it.
Hunter S. Thompson
Not a wasted word. This has been a main point to my literary thinking all my life.
Hunter S. Thompson
There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge.

I harbor a secret urge to whack a salesman in the face, crack his teeth and put red bumps around his eyes.
Hunter S. Thompson
'Crazy' is a term of art 'Insane' is a term of law. Remember that, and you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
