Cancer victimhood contains a permanent temptation to be self-centred and even solipsistic.
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.

But we have a right to remember how barbarically they behaved when they were strong and were making an offer that people could not refuse.
Christopher Hitchens
Everyone in Iran is perceived to be a child with a paternal authority vested in the Guardian Council and the Sufi elders. They're supposed to be grateful. They can never for a moment not be afforded this wonderful protection. The father who will never go away. The father who will never quit caring for them.
Christopher Hitchens
I've been to Uganda and to North Korea and to Eritrea, countless horror spots around the world.
Christopher Hitchens
The pornography of tough-mindedness, covert action, and preparedness for peace through strength has had a predictably hypnotic effect on the legislative branch, turning it from legal watchdog to lapdog.
Christopher Hitchens
Of course we have free will because we have no choice but to have it.
Christopher Hitchens
Unless a reincarnationist is willing to say there was a 'first generation' of souls created with the first humans, he is exposed to absurdity by the recency of human life on the planet.
Christopher Hitchens
Principles have a way of enduring, as do the few irreducible individuals who maintain allegiance to them.
Christopher Hitchens
I burned the candle at both ends and it often gave a lovely light.
Christopher Hitchens
For me, the life of the angler is an almost flawless example of how not to have a good time.
Christopher Hitchens
There is no reason at all why there aren't enough people to guard New Orleans and to help stabilise Baghdad.
Christopher Hitchens
Morality comes from humanism and is stolen by religion for its own purposes.
