Favorite Quote:
&quot;We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and -- in spite of True Romance magazines -- we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don&#039;t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.&quot;<br /> &mdash; Hunter S. Thompson
