“Frankly, I was horrified by life, at what a man had to do simply in order to eat, sleep, and keep himself clothed. So I stayed in bed and drank. When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn't have you by the throat.”

“...fuck stopping. I was going to get loaded immediately. The entire demented merry-go-round began to spin once more”

― Hunter S. Thompson, Hell's Angels
