"Every man is the sum total of..." - Quote by Hunter S Thompson

“The years after 2000 will be a monumental change in the way life is lived here. It will be harder and harder to relate to our children. I don't know what it's going to be. I don't plan to be around in the year 2000. I'll be taken away by the Sufi God.”

“It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat sh** and die.”

“I was kind of relieved with the way the book [The Proud Highway] came out. It's beyond an autobiography or a biography. I never knew what was going to come up next.”

“Treat the past as a school.”

“Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.”

“Crowns in my purse I have, and goods at home,And so am come abroad to see the world.”

“Learn to speak by listening.”

“To know and not to do is not yet to know.”

“If something fails despite being carefully planned, carefully designed, and conscientiously executed, that failure often bespeaks underlying change and, with it, opportunity.”
