"Truth is weirder than any fiction I've..." - Quote by Hunter S Thompson

“Just the other day the AP wire had a story about a man from Arkansas who entered some kind of contest and won a two-week vacation--all expenses paid--wherever he wanted to go. Any place in the world: Mongolia, Easter Island, the Turkish Riviera . . . but his choice was Salt Lake City, and that's where he went. Is this man a registered voter? Has he come to grips with the issues? Has he bathed in the blood of the lamb?”

“I just usually go with my own taste. If I like something, and it happens to be against the law, well, then I might have a problem.”

“I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.”

“The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.”

“Painful as the task is to describe the dark side of our affairs, it sometimes becomes a matter of indispensable necessity.”

“When in doubt, tell the truth. That maxim I did invent, but never expected it to be applied to me. I did say, "When you are in doubt," but when I am in doubt myself I use more sagacity.”

“We Americans have many grave problems to solve, many threatening evils to fight, and many deeds to do, if, as we hope and believe, we have the wisdom, the strength, and the courage and the virtue to do them. But we must face facts as they are. We must neither surrender ourselves to a foolish optimism, nor succumb to a timid and ignoble pessimism.”

“My father upon the Abbey stage, before him a raging crowd."This Land of Saints," and then as the applause died out,"Of plaster Saints;" his beautiful mischievous head thrown back.”

“It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.”
