"I have no taste for either poverty..." - Quote by Hunter S Thompson

“It was wonderful, a stunning happy ending to what began as another tragic rock & roll story, as if Bob Dylan had been arrested in Miami for jacking off in a seedy little XXX theater while stroking the spine of a fat young boy.”

“The only difference between the sane and the insane is that the sane have the power to lock up the insane.”

“I need beaches, and blackness, and moonlit nakedness.”

“Working on the plot/story idea for my next novel ... It always takes time.”

“Expect a most agreeable letter; for not being overburdened with subject (having nothing at all to say) I shall have no check to my Genius from beginning to end.”

“The little honesty that exists among authors is discernible in the unconscionable way they misquote from the writings of others.”

“The proper aim is to try and reconstruct society on such a basis that poverty will be impossible.”

“For half of the world's population, roughly three billion people around the world living on less than two dollars a day, an election is at best a means, not an end; a starting point, not deliverance. These people are looking less for an "electocracy" than for the basic elements that for most of us define a decent life--food, shelter, electricity, basic health care, education for their children, and the ability to make their way through life without having to endure corruption, violence, or arbitrary power.”

“We have no poor houses in the Colonies, and if we had, we would have no one to put in them, as in the Colonies there is not a single unemployed man, no poor and no vagabonds.”
