"You can't miss what you never had...." - Quote by Hunter S Thompson

“I’m a word freak. I like words. I’ve always compared writing to music. That’s the way I feel about good paragraphs. When it really works, it’s like music.”

“Avoid being seized by the police. The cops are not your friends. Don't tell them anything.”

“If you work in either journalism or politics... you will be flogged for being right and flogged for being wrong, and it hurts both ways-but it doesn't hurt as much when you're right.”

“The reason most people don’t accomplish much is because they don’t want much.”

“Not to be avaricious is money; not to be fond of buying is a revenue; but to be content with our own is the greatest and most certain wealth of all.”

“I'll give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind”

“Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child's loss of a doll and a king's loss of a crown are events of the same size.”

“On the one hand, loss implies gain; on the other hand, gain implies loss.”

“Money can't buy you back the love that you had then”
