There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others- the living- are those who pushed their luck as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later. But the edge is still Out there. Or maybe it's In. The association of motorcycles with LSD is no accident of publicity. They are both a means to an end, to the place of definitions." --From "Hells Angels" by Hunter S. Thompson Not a newcomer to Thompson, I enjoyed the movie immensely, happy that Hunter was and is always the intelligent yet slightly crazy prophet in the corner, telling the truth...his own way. “The Edge… There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
