Hunter S. Thompson
“The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It's come to the point where you almost can't run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip on each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72

Charles Portis
“I ordered a glass of beer and arranged my coins before me on the bar in columns according to value. When the beer came, I dipped a finger in it and wet down each corner of the paper napkin to anchor it, so it would not come up with the mug each time and make me appear ridiculous. I drank from the side of the mug that a left handed person would use, in the belief that fewer mouths had been on that side. That is also my policy with cups, any vessel with a handle, although you can usually count on cups getting a more thorough washing than bar glasses. A quick slosh here and there and those babies are right back on the shelf!”
Charles Portis, The Dog of the South

Stewart Brand
“All buildings are predictions. All predictions are wrong.”
Stewart Brand

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“The 2 prime movers in the Universe are Time and Luck.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Hocus Pocus

George Plimpton
“The pleasure of sport was so often the chance to indulge the cessation of time itself--the pitcher dawdling on the mound, the skier poised at the top of a mountain trail, the basketball player with the rough skin of the ball against his palm preparing for a foul shot, the tennis player at set point over his opponent--all of them savoring a moment before committing themselves to action.”
George Plimpton, Paper Lion
