"Anything that gets your blood racing is..." - Quote by Hunter S Thompson

“I drink much less than most people think, and I think much more than most people would believe. I am quite sincere about some of the things which people take very lightly, and almost insultingly unconcerned about some of the things which people take most seriously. In short, I am basically antisocial: certainly not to an alarming degree , but just more so than I appear to be.”

“Love plans for tomorrow and loneliness thinks of yesterday.”

“What passed for society was a loud, giddy whirl of thieves and pretentious hustlers, a dull sideshow full of quacks and clowns and philistines with gimp mentalities.”

“Poetry makes life what lights and music do the stage.”

“To feed your Muse, then, you should always have been hungry about life since you were a child. If not, it is a little late to start.”

“You will find a common dichotomy in life. Those who don't have vision or determination, and refuse to dream the impossible, are always in the majority.”

“I am not a yachting person, by nature, but I have just enough experience on the sea under sail to feel a certain nostalgia for it when I see a big white racing yacht heeled over at cruising speed on the ocean, and I can still tie a mean bowline knot on just about anything in less than 10 seconds.”

“The reality is more excellent than the report.”

“Here was a place where real things were going on. Here was a scene of vital action. Here was a place where anything might happen. Here was a place where something would certainly happen. Here I might leave my bones.”
