The Rum Diary quotes_by Hunter S Thompson Paul Kemp: [Kemp and Sala are wandering down a pier late at night, on hallucinogens] I thought I was losing grip in there. What did we take? Sala: I don't know. Paul Kemp: We need get some more. [Kemp stops to stare at a tank full of lobsters] [quietly] That explains it... doesn't it? Sala: Explains what? Paul Kemp: The world... and us. [he stares deep into the eyes of one particular lobster] [voiceover] I wonder what it is you might think about our different worlds. He looked at me kinda sideways and said, "Human beings are the only creatures on Earth who claim a God, and the only living thing that behaves like it hasn't got one. Does the world belong to no one but you?" And when he said it, I was taken aback. Not because of who was doing the talking. Because I finally understood the connection between scavenging for food, and shiny brass plates on the front doors of banks. Ryszard |
