Change Quote by Hunter S. Thompson

“The years after 2000 will be a monumental change in the way life is lived here. It will be harder and harder to relate to our children. I don't know what it's going to be. I don't plan to be around in the year 2000. I'll be taken away by the Sufi God.” quote by Hunter S. Thompson
