A Day With The Duke

Hunter S Thompson:

"I would feel real trapped in this life
if I didn't know I could commit suicide
at any time."


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

From Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas:

"... No explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant... there was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle... that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave...."


"So much for Objective Journalism. Don't bother to look for it here, not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms."

". . .our police are dishonest, our children are poor, our vaunted Social Security, once the envy of the world, has been looted and neglected and destroyed by the same gang of ignorant greed-crazed bastards who brought us Vietnam, Afghanistan, the disastrous Gaza Strip and ignominious defeat all over the world…Big Darkness, soon come.

"The Edge... There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others- the living-are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later. But the edge is still Out there. Or maybe it's In. (from Hell's Angels)

"Four more years of George Bush will be like four more years of syphilis."

"If you're going to be crazy,
you have to get paid for it or
else you're going to be locked up."
