Quote by Hunter S. Thompson

“San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run...but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant... History is hard to know...but even without being sure of "history" it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really understands at the time - and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened.”

“My grandfather...The last thing he said to my mother was "Your mother loves you"...Years later it occurred to me that when someone says what my grandfather did, what they mean, what would be far more accurate, is "She is trying to love you as best she can." This might be okay with you, or it might now be what you need at all...and now I am forty years old...I don't have a daughter and I don't know if I ever will. But if I do, we will not carry this sadness forward. I'm tired of holding it.”

“When his flesh is weak, he does not hesitate to go on his knees because he knows on his knees he can overcome tribulations. This is a powerful man who cannot let the enemy win. He remains resolute and unyielding. His knees bear the weight of battles unseen. When the enemy threatens him with defeat, he kneels, not in defeat but out of defiance and reliance on the Trinity.”
