Hunter S Thompson
Choice quotes from an American Legend

A cordial, refreshing backstroke through the tides of Hunter Thompson's frontal lobe. Stuff he said, basically. Good stuff that makes you think. Which, in turn, is a good thing. Trust us.

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

"No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master."

"Politics is the art of controlling your environment."

"I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours."

"I feel the same way about disco as I do about herpes."

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

"So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?"

"Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio."

"Sex without love is as hollow and ridiculous as love without sex."

"Good people drink good beer."

"Some people will tell you that slow is good – but I’m here to tell you that fast is better. I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me. 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…"

"I've always considered writing the most hateful kind of work. I suspect it's a bit like fucking, which is only fun for amateurs. Old whores don't do much giggling."

"Weird behavior is natural in smart children, like curiosity is to a kitten."

"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."
