Christopher Hitchens
To be in opposition is not to be a nihilist.
Christopher Hitchens
My father had died, and very swiftly, too, of cancer of the esophagus. He was 79. I am 61. In whatever kind of a 'race' life may be, I have very abruptly become a finalist.
Christopher Hitchens
Teasing is very often a sign of inner misery.
Christopher Hitchens
Literature, not scripture, sustains the mind and - since there is no other metaphor - also the soul.
Christopher Hitchens
Take the risk of thinking for yourself
Christopher Hitchens
(Howard) Dean is a raving nut bag...a raving, sinister, demagogic nutbag...I and a few other people saw that he should be destroyed.
Christopher Hitchens
Allow a friend to believe in a bogus prospectus or a false promise and you cease, after a short while, to be a friend at all.
Christopher Hitchens
The term 'the American Left' is as near to being meaningless or nonsensical as any term could really be in politics. It isn't really a force in politics anymore. And it would do well to ask itself why that is.
