In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upward mobile.
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
It was obvious that he was a man who marched through life to the rhythms of some drum I would never hear.
