More quotes by Hunter S. Thompson
Politics is the art of controlling your environment.
Hunter S. Thompson
The Hell's Angels try not to do anything halfway, and anyone who deals in extremes is bound to cause trouble, whether he means to or not. This, along with a belief in total retaliation for any offense or insult, is what makes the Hell's Angels unmanageable for the police and morbidly fascinating to the general public.
Hunter S. Thompson
Most people who deal in words don't have much faith in them and I am no exception.
Hunter S. Thompson
I am surprised and embarrassed to be a part of the first American generation to leave the country in far worse shape than it was when we first came into it.
Hunter S. Thompson
We must have football. What would this country be without football in October?
Hunter S. Thompson
As your attorney, it is my duty to inform you that it is not important that you understand what I'm doing or why you're paying me so much money. What's important is that you continue to do so.
Hunter S. Thompson
It will be a Religious War, a sort of Christian Jihad, fueled by religious hatred and led by merciless fanatics on both sides. It will be guerilla warfare on a global scale, with no front lines and no identifiable enemy.
Hunter S. Thompson
Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives... and to the good life, whatever it is and wherever it happens to be.
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
I'll call New York for some cash.
Hunter S. Thompson

Hunter S. Thompson
I have long admired Ron Whitehead. He is crazy as nine loons, and his poetry is a dazzling mix of folk wisdom and pure mathematics
Hunter S. Thompson
Ah, that we lack the courage of our romantic convictions and thereby miss the wine of life, forgoing the very thing that makes living worthwhile.
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
Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.
Hunter S. Thompson
They say that he who flies highest, falls farthest - and who am I to argue? But we can't forget that he who doesn't flap his wings, never flies at all.
Hunter S. Thompson
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body.
Hunter S. Thompson
Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube. That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba.
Hunter S. Thompson
Beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life.
Hunter S. Thompson
There is no fool like a careless gambler who starts taking victory for granted.
