"[Polo Is My Life] is what's called..." - Quote by Hunter S Thompson

“We can't stop here, this is bat country!”

“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.”

“The most important thing a writer can have [is] the ability to live with the constant loneliness and a strong sense of revulsion for the banalities of everyday socializing.”

“I'd got hobbits on my hands hadn't I?”

“I write because it gives me the greatest possible artistic pleasure to write. If my work pleases the few I am gratified. As for the mob, I have no desire to be a popular novelist. It is far too easy.”

“A poet never takes notes. You never take notes in a love affair.”

“But you speak of Master Gandalf, as if he was in a story that had come to an end.' 'Yes, we do,' said Pippin sadly. 'The story seems to be going on, but I am afraid Gandalf has fallen out of it.”

“How are we to account for the strange human craving for the pleasure of feeling afraid which is so much involved in our love of ghost stories?”

“Don't adventures ever have an end? I suppose not. Someone else always has to carry on on the story.”
