"You won't find reasonable men on the tops of tall mountains.”
― Hunter S. Thompson
. “We are all alone, born alone,
die alone, and — in spite of True Romance magazines — we shall all someday look
back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the
whole way. I do not say lonely — at least, not all the time — but essentially,
and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I
don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds
of others for your happiness.”
“The
Edge… there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really
know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others-the living-are
those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and
then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time
to choose between Now and Later.”
“A man who
procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by
circumstance.”
The Proud Highway: Saga of a
Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
“Life should not be a
journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well
preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly
used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”
