More quotes by Christopher Hitchens

Christopher Hitchens
Who are your favourite heroines in real life? The women of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran who risk their lives and their beauty to defy the foulness of theocracy. Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Azar Nafisi as their ideal feminine model.
Christopher Hitchens

Christopher Hitchens
Exceptional claims, require exceptional evidence.
Christopher Hitchens

Christopher Hitchens
Religion is compulsory in English schools, you know.
Christopher Hitchens
Talking, it seemed to me, was the point of adult existence.
Christopher Hitchens
There is almost no country in Africa where it is not essential to know to which tribe, or which subgroup of which tribe, the president belongs. From this single piece of information you can trace the lines of patronage and allegiance that define the state.
Christopher Hitchens
I have always found it quaint and rather touching that there is a movement [Libertarians] in the US that thinks Americans are not yet selfish enough.
Christopher Hitchens
There is an unusually high and consistent correlation between the stupidity of a given person and that person’s propensity to be impressed by the measurement of IQ.
Christopher Hitchens
Religion is not the belief there is a god. Religion is the belief god tells you what to do.
Christopher Hitchens
Endless praise and adoration, limitless abnegation and abjection of self a celestial North Korea.
Christopher Hitchens
In the brute physical world, and the one encompassed by medicine, there are all too many things that could kill you, don't kill you, and then leave you considerably weaker.
