Hunter S. Thompson

As far as I'm concerned, it's a hell of a lot better to be rich and a little crazy than poor and a little crazy.

Paranoia is just total awareness.

The only difference between the lunatic and me is that I am not mad.

It's not a question of whether you're good or bad, but how you handle the pressure.

I'd rather be a gambler than a politician. A gambler takes his chances; a politician takes yours.

Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.

There's no point in being a wise old man if you can't be a crazy young one.

I have a natural affinity for chaos.

I don't think I'll ever be normal. I don't want to be normal.

I am a rare species, not a stereotype.

The only thing I ever learned from a woman was that I was a fool.

I have a lot of trouble with sanity. It's a constant struggle.

I don't believe in the American Dream. I believe in the American Nightmare.

The man who is not afraid of the devil is not afraid of God.

I've always been attracted to the wild side of life.

I am a seeker of truth, and I will find it, even if it kills me.

I have no regrets, only lessons learned.

I'm a survivor, not a victim.

I'm not here to be liked, I'm here to be real.

I've always been a rebel, and I always will be.
