"Wake up and ponder the future..." - Quote by Hunter S Thompson

“My blood is too thick for California: I have never been able to properly explain myself in this climate.”

“Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a Crime in Progress is not a happy prospect.”

“I wanted to take off all my clothes and never wear them again.”

“In our time the search for extraterrestrial life will eventually change our laws, our religions, our philosophies, our arts, our recreations, as well as our sciences. Space, the mirror, waits for life to come look for itself there.”

“It's not necessary for you to exacerbate your contrast with struggle in order to get it into a higher place. It is not necessary to suffer in order to give birth to desire. But when you have suffered and you have given birth to desire, so what? You've got a desire. Turn your attention to the desire. Think about where you're going and never mind where you've been. Don't spend any more time justifying any of that stuff -- Abraham”

“I feel my greatest work is yet to come.”

“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”

“Looking back, I realize that this period of my life has irrevocably come to a close; my happy-go-lucky, carefree schooldays are gone forever. I don't even miss them. I've outgrown them. I can no longer just kid around, since my serious side is always there.”

“I feel old only when I look at my hands or at myself in the mirror.”
