Ou será 4?

"Era aqui que eu tinha chegado.
Não! Devo escolher as palavras com mais cuidado.
Este é o mundo que eu procurei.
A terra da perpétua festa nocturna.
O dia a engolir a noite e a noite a engolir o dia.
A droga a pressionar-me como um pistão divino...
...com a sua poderosa descida.
Estamos nisto há 3 dias.
Ou será 4?
Speeds, coca, heroína, indo e vindo...
...jurando amizade eterna uns aos outros...
...apenas para se acordar e se perceber que não se atravessaria a rua...
...para lhes mijar em cima se eles estivessem a arder.
3 dias.
Ou será 4?
Eu sei o que estão a pensar. Mas não desistam já de mim.
Esperem até eu vos contar a história toda.
E mantenham os olhos bem abertos.
Nada é o que parece."

from "The Salton Sea"

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

"We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously..."

“We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. But the only thing that worried me was the ether. There is nothing more irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we would be getting into that rotten stuff sooner or later.”

“A drug person can learn to handle such things as seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth. But no one should be asked to deal with this trip.”

“Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop-heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow.”
