A man is to be pitied who lacked the courage to accept the challenge of freedom and depart from the cushion of security and see life as it is instead of living it second-hand. Life has by-passed this man and he has watched from a secure place, afraid to seek anything better What has he done except to sit and wait for the tomorrow which never comes?
...the only true courage: the kind which enables men to face the unknown regardless of the consequences.
Hunter S. Thompson
Fear and Loating was a real interesting book, but there really isn’t much that I have to say about it. The book is just sort of enthralling, disgusting, but also amazing. The things that go on are so played down by the characters, are done in such an anti-dramatic fashion.
Best Hunter Thompson obit I’ve seen yet.
