More quotes by Christopher Hitchens
I joined a small but growing post-Trotskyite Luxembourgist sect.
Christopher Hitchens
In some ways I feel sorry for racists and for religious fanatics, because they so much miss the point of being human, and deserve a sort of pity. But then I harden my heart, and decide to hate them all the more, because of the misery they inflict and because of the contemptible excuses they advance for doing so.
Christopher Hitchens
Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a mistake.
Christopher Hitchens
The press is still investing itself, it seems to me, in a sort of cynicism. It comes out better for them if they can predict hard times, bogging down, sniping, attrition.
Christopher Hitchens
For most of my life I let women do the driving and was happy to let them.
Christopher Hitchens
Rosa Luxemburg was - still is for me - a great personal and intellectual heroine. Her analysis of Leninism and capitalism and social democracy are all worth reading. I wouldn't consider anyone truly politically literate if they hadn't given her work at least some study.
Christopher Hitchens
I'm here as a product of process of evolution, which doesn't make very many exceptions. And which rates life relatively cheaply.
Christopher Hitchens
There is no English surname, however ancient and dignified, that cannot instantly be improved by the prefix ‘Spanker’.
Christopher Hitchens
Cheap booze is a false economy.
Christopher Hitchens
No moral person would do such a thing unless they thought it was divinely warranted.
Christopher Hitchens
Religion is not the belief there is a god. Religion is the belief god tells you what to do.
Christopher Hitchens
A good liar must have a good memory. Kissinger is a stupendous liar with a remarkable memory.
Christopher Hitchens
I became a journalist because one didn't have to specialise.
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
I don't envy or much respect people who are completely politicised.
Christopher Hitchens
Demands that you believe the impossible do not lead to peaceful outcomes.
Christopher Hitchens
I apply the Abraham Lincoln test for moral casuistry: 'If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.' Well, then, if waterboarding does not constitute torture, then there is no such thing as torture.
Christopher Hitchens
Three words for those who want to put the Christ back in Christmas: Jingle Bell Rock.
Christopher Hitchens
The fragility of love is what is most at stake here—humanity's most crucial three-word avowal is often uttered only to find itself suddenly embarrassing or orphaned or isolated or ill-timed—but strangely enough it can work better as a literal or reassuring statement than a transcendent or numinous or ecstatic one.
Christopher Hitchens
If I'm in a political argument, I think I can, with reasonable accuracy and without boasting, put the other person's side of the case at least as well as they could. One has to be able to say that in any well-conducted argument.
