i'm a huge fan of hunter s thompson. he's a great writer! i thought i would share some of his wonderful wisdom with all of you. here are different quotes of his.

- "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 sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well...maybe chalk it off to forced conscious expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten." - fear and loathing in las vegas
- "Some may never live, but the crazy never die."
- "Sex without love is as hollow and ridiculous as love without sex."
- "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."
- "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously."
- "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"
- "A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance."
- "America...just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable"
- "The greatest mania of all is passion" - the curse of lono
- "If you're going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you're going to be locked up."
-"As things stand now, I am going to be a writer. I'm not sure that I'm going to be a good one or even a self-supporting one, but until the dark thumb of fate presses me to the dust and says 'you are nothing', I will be a writer."- gonzo
