“Let every nation know, whether it wishes
us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any
hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and
the success of liberty.”—John F. Kennedy, 1960

“John F. Kennedy … murdered in Dallas by some hapless geek named Oswald who worked for either Castro, the mob, Jimmy Hoffa, the CIA, his dominatrix landlady or the odious, degenerate FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover. The list is long and crazy — maybe Marilyn Monroe’s
first husband fired those shots from the grassy knoll. Who knows? A
whole generation of American journalists is still embarrassed by their
failure to answer that question. JFK’s ghost will haunt the corridors of
power in America for as long as the grass is green and the rivers run
to the sea. Take my word for it, Bubba. I have heard his footsteps for
30 years and I still feel guilty about not being able to explain the
biggest news story of my lifetime to my son.”—Hunter S. Thompson

“I really don’t know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it’s because in addition to the
fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it’s
because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological
fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt
in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in
our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And
when we go back to the sea – whether it is to sail or to watch it – we
are going back from whence we came.”—John F. Kennedy
