Hunter S. Thompson
I have never believed much in luck, and my sense of humor has tended to walk on the dark side.
Hunter S. Thompson
Beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life.
Hunter S. Thompson
That is the problem with this rich and anguished generation. Somewhere a long time ago they fell in love with the idea that politicians- even the slickest and brightest presidential candidates- were real heroes and truly exciting people. That is wrong on its face. They are mainly dull people with corrupt instincts and criminal children.

Politics is the art of controlling your environment.
Hunter S. Thompson
There’s a lot of things wrong with this country, but one of the few things still right with it is that a man can steer clear of the organized bullshit if he really wants to. It’s a goddamned luxury, and if I were you, I’d take advantage of it while you can.
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
We are living in dangerously weird times now. Smart people just shrug and admit they're dazed and confused. The only ones left with any confidence at all are the New Dumb. It is the beginning of the end of our world as we knew it. Doom is the operative ethic.
Hunter S. Thompson
I'll call New York for some cash.
Hunter S. Thompson
Timothy Leary and I kept the same hours. He believed, as I do, that “After midnight, all things are possible.
Hunter S. Thompson
A man who has blown all his options can't afford the luxury of changing his ways. He has to capitalize on whatever he has left, and he can't afford to admit - no matter how often he's reminded of it - that every day of his life takes him farther and farther down a blind alley.
Hunter S. Thompson
Fiction is a bridge to the truth that journalism can't reach.
