Politics is the art of controlling your environment. - Hunter S. Thompson

"For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled."

"I have never believed much in luck, and my sense of humor has tended to walk on the dark side."

"'Crazy' is a term of art; 'Insane' is a term of law. Remember that, and you will save yourself a lot of trouble."

"I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours."

"So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?"
