Houston is a cruel, crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning laws and a culture of sex, money and violence.

Hunter S. Thompson
To give advice to a man who asks what to do with his life implies something very close to egomania. To presume to point a man to the right and ultimate goal - to point with a trembling finger in the RIGHT direction is something only a fool would take upon himself.
Hunter S. Thompson
The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now & with somebody & and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.
Hunter S. Thompson
History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of history it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody understands at the time--and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened.
Hunter S. Thompson
Never fire a warning shot. It is a waste of ammunition.
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.
