There is no story unless you've written it.

Hunter Thompson 519 quotes

Never create anything, it will...

Never create anything, it will be misinterpreted, it will chain you and follow you for the rest of your life.

If there is in fact, a heaven ...

If there is in fact, a heaven and a hell, all we know for sure is that hell will be a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix.

If you consider the great journalists in history, you don't see too many objective journalists on that list.

Las Vegas is a society of armed masturbators/gambling is the kicker here/sex is extra/weird trip for high rollers ... house-whores for winners, hand jobs for the bad luck crowd.

There's a terrible danger in voting for the lesser of two evils because the parties can set it up that way.

Hunter Thompson 519 quotes

I've always considered writing...

I've always considered writing the most hateful kind of work. I suspect it's a bit like f***ing В- which is fun only for amateurs. Old whores don't do much giggling.

I was never trying, necessarily, to be an outlaw. It was just the place in which I found myself.

Hunter Thompson 519 quotes

What passed for society was a ...

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.

Hunter Thompson 519 quotes

I believe that the major opera...

I believe that the major operating ethic in American society right now, the most universal want and need is to be on TV. I've been on TV. I could be on TV all the time if I wanted to. But most people will never get on TV. It has to be a real breakthrough for them. And trouble is, people will do almost anything to get on it. You know, confess to crimes they haven't committed. You don't exist unless you're on TV. Yeah, it's a validation process.

The first paragraph. The last ...

The first paragraph. The last paragraph. That's where the story is going and how it's going to end. Or else you'll go off in a hundred different directions.

Hunter Thompson 519 quotes

Ah, fortune and fame shall fol...

Ah, fortune and fame shall follow me ... and I shall dwell in the world of the chosen for a few moments of fleeting ecstasy; ere the seven burly lads turn into creditors and hustle me off to debtors' prison at last.

Hunter Thompson 519 quotes

Freedom, Truth, Honour В- you ...

Freedom, Truth, Honour В- you could rattle off a hundred such words and behind every one of them would gather a thousand punks, pompous little farts, waving the banner with one hand and reaching under the table with the other.

I still feel needles in my back when I think about all the horrible disasters that would have befallen me if I had permanently moved to San Francisco and rented a big house, joined the company dole, become national-affairs editor for some upstart magazineВ-that was the plan around 1967. But that would have meant going to work on a regular basis, like nine to five, with an officeВ-I had to pull out.

Hunter Thompson 519 quotes

They say that 'he who flies highest, falls farthest' В- and who am I to argue? But we can't forget that 'he who doesn't flap his wings, never flies at all.

Platitudes are safe, because they're easy to wink at, but truth is something else again.

Hunter Thompson 519 quotes

Most of my stuff is just a ser...

Most of my stuff is just a series of false leads. I'll approach a story as a subject and then make a whole bunch of different runs at the lead. They're all good writing but they don't connect. So I end up having to string leads together.

Hunter Thompson 519 quotes

I have never felt comfortable ...

I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright... Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be le
