“Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing, the only real cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas … with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether.”

- Hunter S. Thompson

“We’re all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled the 60’s. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary’s trip. He crashed around America selling Consciousness Expansion without ever giving a thought to the grim, meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all those people who took him seriously. All those pathetically eager acid-freaks who thought they could buy peace and understanding for three bucks a hit. But his loss, and failure, is ours, too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole lifestyle that he helped create. A generation of permanent cripples; failed seekers, who never understood the essential old mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture. The desperate assumption that somebody, or at least some force, is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.”

“…if a man could muster the guts or even the desperation to move a few thousand miles there was a pretty good chance that he’d have money in his pocket and meat in his belly and one hell of a romping good time.”

Modern American journalism would be a hell of a lot better if we still had you looking after it.

“We are living in dangerously weird times now. Smart people just shrug and admit they’re dazed and confused. The only ones left with any confidence at all are the New Dumb. It is the beginning of the end of our world as we knew it. Doom is the operative ethic.”
