Hunter S. Thompson

“Every once in a while, but not often, you can sit down and write a thing that you know is going to stand people's hair on end for the rest of their lives--a perfect memory of some kind, like a vision, and you can see the words rolling out of your fingers and bouncing around for a while like wild little jewels before they finally roll into place and line up just as exactly like you wanted them to...Wow! Look at that shit! Who wrote that stuff?

What? Me? Hot damn! Let us rumble, keep going, don't slow down--whatever it is, keep doing it. Let's have a little Fun.

Even writing feels like when you catch a moment like this. You feel Pure and natural--Yes, sir, I am a Natural Man tonight. Bring it on. Fuck those people. Tonight we walk with the king. That is my kind of fun, and I like to spread it around. You can't hoard fun. It has no shelf-life.”

Hunter S. Thompson, Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-Crossed Child in the Final Days of the American Century
