I'm very happy by myself - I'm lucky in that way - if I've got enough to read and something to write about and a bit of alcohol for me to add an edge, not to dull it.
Christopher Hitchens

Christopher Hitchens
The thing about religion is that it's the first and the worst. The worst because it's the first.
Christopher Hitchens
I was taught very early on that the state can be, and is, a liar and a murderer.
Christopher Hitchens
The diet book is one of those fool-and-money separation devices that seems, like roulette or slot machines, never to lose its power.
Christopher Hitchens
Your least favorite virtue, or nominee for the most overrated one? Faith. Closely followed—in view of the overall shortage of time—by patience.
Christopher Hitchens
I have no time to waste on this planet being told what to do by those who think that God has given them instructions.
Christopher Hitchens

Christopher Hitchens
