Christopher Hitchens
Not many people come through esophageal cancer and live to talk about it, or not for long.

History is a tragegy, not a morality tale.
Christopher Hitchens
I would say that if you don't believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ and Messiah, and that he rose again from the dead and by his sacrifice our sins are forgiven, you're really not in any meaningful sense a Christian.

Christopher Hitchens
All the time, I've felt that life is a wager and that I probably was getting more out of leading a bohemian existence as a writer than I would have if I didn't.
Christopher Hitchens
No moral person would do such a thing unless they thought it was divinely warranted.
Christopher Hitchens
It [Obama's Nobel peace prize] would be like giving someone an Oscar in the hope that it would encourage them to make a decent motion picture.
Christopher Hitchens
I have decided to take whatever my disease can throw at me.
Christopher Hitchens
We know that our life is essentially tragic. I'm absolutely not for handing over that very important department of our psyche to those who say, Why didn't you say so before? God has a plan for you in mind.
Christopher Hitchens
Of course we have free will because we have no choice but to have it.
