"Beware of looking for goals: look for..." - Quote by Hunter S Thompson

“It was one of those fine little love stories that can make you smile in your sleep at night.”

“When you write for a living and you can't do anything else, you know that sooner or later that the deadline is going to come screaming down on you like a goddamn banshee. There's no avoiding it...So one day you just don't appear at the El Adobe bar anymore; you shut the door, paint the windows black, rent an electric typewriter and become the monster you always were - the writer.”

“We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.”

“Here is a commandment for you: seek happiness in sorrow. Work, work tirelessly.”

“As I see it then, the formula runs something like this: a man must choose a path which will let his ABILITIES function at maximum efficiency toward the gratification of his DESIRES.”

“To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.”

“In order to achieve goals you have not achieved before you have to become someone you haven't been before.”

“You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want using whatever life gives you along the way.”

“I think happiness is a goal all of us can agree on. Let's face it - we all would like to be happy.”
