"For every moment of triumph, for every..." - Quote by Hunter S Thompson

“The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It's come to the point where you almost can't run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics.”

“The Edge...There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others-the living-are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later. But the edge is still Out there.”

“If you can't make yourself understood by your friends, you'll be in trouble when your enemies come for you.”

“No worthwhile life can be lived without risks, despite current American superstitions to the contrary.”

“Morning is when I am awake and there is a dawn in me.”

“Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house.”

“The beginning of my life was simple and much like every other little life. I came, I saw, I conquered, as the first baby in the family always does.”

“the harder the conflict, the greater the triumph.”

“Joy is of the will which labours, which overcomes obstacles, which knows triumph.”
