Freedom is something that dies unless it’s used.

Freedom is something that dies unless it’s used.
Hunter S, Thompson
자유는 사용하지 않으면 죽은 것이나 마찬가지이다.
헌터 S. 톰슨

Hunter S. Thompson refused to be bound by any conventions, especially in his writing. As a reporter in the 1960s and '70s, he made no attempts at objectivity and often anointed himself a main character in narratives he was dispatched to just observe. This quote derives from one of the last career-spanning interviews he granted, a 2003 conversation with “Salon.” Thompson was speaking not about how he emerged as gonzo journalism’s leading voice, but about complacency in general. Exercising our liberties is how we build a better world for ourselves, our communities, and future generations.
