Conan: "You keep barrels of GUNPOWDER in your basement? What on earth for?"
HST: "Well, uh, em, to make bombs of course."
Conan: "You make bombs???"
HST (startled, looks around): "BOMBS??!! WHERE ??"
Aspen Daily News: Caption to the photo of Hunter at an anti-war rally at Aspen's Paepcke Park in 2003:
He told the crowd, "This president has destroyed the country, the economy, the relationship with the rest of the world. He's a monster in the White House. He should resign."

- San Antonio/Aspen Lawyer Gerry Goldstein:
Hunter was not only a national treasure, but the conscience of this little village," said Gerry Goldstein, a prominent Aspen attorney who is a dear friend of the Thompson family. "He kept us all honest. It didn't matter who you were, whether you were his friend or someone he didn't even know. He didn't mind grading your paper. He was righteous. He was part of a literary nobility."
