More quotes by Christopher Hitchens
I can’t hope to convey the full effect of the embraces and avowals, but I can perhaps offer a crumb of counsel. If there is anybody known to you who might benefit from a letter or a visit, do not on any account postpone the writing or the making of it. The difference made will almost certainly be more than you have calculated
Christopher Hitchens
The great thing about the United States and the historically magnetic effect it has had on a lot of people like me is its generosity, to put it simply.
Christopher Hitchens
The secular state is the guarantee of religious pluralism. This apparent paradox, again, is the simplest and most elegant of political truths.
Christopher Hitchens
The Postmodernists' tyranny wears people down by boredom and semi-literate prose.
Christopher Hitchens
To be in opposition is not to be a nihilist.
Christopher Hitchens
One of the reasons I decided to apply for American citizenship after something like a quarter of century of living here on a British, European Union passport and a green card, was my identification with the United States in the post-September 11th period.
Christopher Hitchens
I must have been one of the least surprised people on earth on September 11. I felt very braced for that. I knew something like that was going to come.

Chemotherapy isn't good for you. So when you feel bad, as I am feeling now, you think, 'Well that is a good thing because it's supposed to be poison. If it's making the tumor feel this queasy, then I'm OK with it.'
Christopher Hitchens
I don't think souls or bodies can be changed by incantation. Or anything else by the way.
Christopher Hitchens
Henry Kissinger should have the door shut in his face by every decent person and should be shamed, ostracized and excluded.
Christopher Hitchens
We have lived in a world where the discoveries of physics and genetics are far more awe-inspiring, as well as infinitely more liberating, than the claims of any religion.
Christopher Hitchens
The trade-off between freedom and security, so often proposed so seductively, very often leads to the loss of both.
Christopher Hitchens
It's surprising to me how many of my friends send Christmas cards, or holiday cards, including my atheist and secular friends.
Christopher Hitchens
My chief consolation in this year of living dyingly has been the presence of friends.
Christopher Hitchens
I've been to Uganda and to North Korea and to Eritrea, countless horror spots around the world.
Christopher Hitchens
I don't envy or much respect people who are completely politicised.
Christopher Hitchens
There is no such thing as closure, and it wouldn't be worth having if it were available, because all it would mean is that something that was quite an important part of you had gone numb.
Christopher Hitchens
I don't say things like the grace of God. All that's white noise to me, not because I'm an intellectual. For many people, it's gibberish. Likewise, the idea that the Koran was dictated by an archaic illiterate is a fantasy.
Christopher Hitchens
There is no reason at all why there aren't enough people to guard New Orleans and to help stabilise Baghdad.
Christopher Hitchens
Religion is man-made. Even the men who made it cannot agree on what their prophets or redeemers or gurus actually said or did.
