Fear and loathing (nonfiction)
"Fear and loathing" is a well-known phrase used by American journalist and author Hunter S. Thompson.
Origin
Thompson first used the phrase "fear and loathing" in a letter to a friend on November 22, 1963, the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, the day of the Goldwater convention in San Francisco. In the letter, Thompson describes how he felt about the person who shot Kennedy. Thompson says the phrase "came out of my own sense of fear, and is a perfect description of that situation to me."
