The streets of every city in America are filled with men who would pay all the money they could lay their hands on to be transformed, even for a day, into hairy, hard-fisted brutes who walk all over cops, extort drinks from terrified bartenders and roar out of town on big motorcycles after raping the banker's daughter.

Hunter S. Thompson
There is probably some long-standing rule among writers, journalists, and other word-mongers that says: When you start stealing from your own work you're in bad trouble. And it may be true.
Hunter S. Thompson
For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled.

Hunter S. Thompson
In four short years he has turned our country from a prosperous nation at peace into a desperately indebted nation at war. But so what? He is the President of the United States, and you're not. Love it or leave it.
