At the top of the mountain we are all snow leopards.
Hunter S. Thompson
On some days you get what you want, and on others, you get what you need.
Hunter S. Thompson
It was the Law of the Sea, they said. Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not always right at the top.
Hunter S. Thompson
Allen [ Ginsberg] was a particular friend, one of my heroes, really. I knew him almost as long as I've been writing.
Hunter S. Thompson
Life is beautiful and living is pain.
Hunter S. Thompson
Quacks are a part of our culture, and we all fall prey to them. Who among us can say, for sure, that even our own personal physicians are honest and competent?
Hunter S. Thompson
All my life, my heart has sought a thing I cannot name. Remembered line from a long- forgotten poem
Hunter S. Thompson
I was never idle long enough to do much thinking, but I felt somehow that my instincts were right.
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
I'll call New York for some cash.
Hunter S. Thompson
Without gambling, I would not exist.
Hunter S. Thompson
We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear—fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad debts or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer.
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
Platitudes are safe, because they're easy to wink at, but truth is something else again.
Hunter S. Thompson
I’m a word freak. I like words. I’ve always compared writing to music. That’s the way I feel about good paragraphs. When it really works, it’s like music.
Hunter S. Thompson
I was once arrested with [Allen] Ginsburg. He was a big help to me. He was one of the few people who read unknown writer's work. Maybe he was just hustling me. He liked to flirt, Allen. They called him a monster but he was only falling in love.
Hunter S. Thompson
I have always hated bowling, and I don't mind admitting it.
Hunter S. Thompson
Marathon running, like golf, is a game for players, not winners. That is why Callaway sells golf clubs and Nike sells running shoes. But running is unique in that the world's best racers are on the same course, at the same time, as amateurs, who have as much chance of winning as your average weekend warrior would scoring a touchdown in the NFL.
Hunter S. Thompson
Bush is a natural-born loser with a filthy-rich daddy who pimped his son out to rich oil-mongers. He hates music, football and sex, in no particular order, and he is no fun at all.
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.
