Interesting HST Quote

I'm not trying to overdose on Hunter S. Thompson here but I did find this quote from Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 interesting:

Live steady. Don't fuck around.Give anything weird a wide berth - including people. It's not worth it. I learned this the hard way, through brutal overindulgence.

This was written in 1972 and it looks like HST failed to take his own advice but at least now maybe the quote could make a good epitath.
