“Freedom is a challenge. You decide who you are by what you do. It’s like a question, like a fork in the road. An ongoing question you have to answer correctly. There’s a touch of the high-wire to it. I’ve never been able to walk high-wires, but I get the feeling.”

-Hunter S. Thompson, excerpted from the May, 2005 Playboy feature, “Postcards From the Proud Highway”
