Hunter S. Thompson Quotes

"Fear is just another word for ignorance""I was a halfhearted, at best, rebel""The mind of America is seized by a fatal dry rot""When you're going through hell, keep going""A little bit of the legend works because it's just poetry""I understand that fear is my friend, but not always""Myths and legends die hard in America""The truth is rarely pure and never simple according to Oscar Wilde""Call on God, but row away from the rocks""Yesterday's weirdness is tomorrow's reason why""We can't stop here, this is bat country""You better take care of me Lord, if you don't you're gonna have me on your hands""You can turn your back on a person but never turn your back on a drug, especially when it’s waving a razor-sharp hunting knife in your eye""Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing""If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people—including me—would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today ""Luck is a very thin wire between survival and disaster and not many people can keep their balance on it ""I learned a long time ago that reality was much weirder than anyone's imagination ""The only difference between the sane and the insane is that the sane have the power to lock up the insane ""The press is a gang of cruel faggots Journalism is not a profession or a trade; it is a cheap catch-all for f****d-up drunks and misfits-a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage""Like most of the others, I was a seeker, a mover, a malcontent, and at times a stupid hell-raiser I was never idle long enough to do much thinking, but I felt somehow that some of us were making real progress, that we were getting somewhere"
