Text Quotes
I’m not afraid of being dead, that’s to say there’s nothing to be afraid of. I won’t know I’m dead, would be my strong conviction. And if I find that I’m alive in any way at all, that’ll be a pleasant surprise. I quite like surprises  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) One can’t live without fear, it’s a question of what is your attitude towards fear? I’m afraid of a sordid death. I’m afraid that I will die in an ugly or squalid way, and cancer can be very vigorous in that respect  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) Judaism is not just one more religion, but in its way the root of religious evil  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) Religion attacks us in our deepest integrity by saying we wouldn’t be able to make a moral decision without it  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) I am a person of faith: I am a person who will believe practically anything on no evidence at all  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) For me, the life of the angler is an almost flawless example of how not to have a good time  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) When you consider how many millions of workdays begin with hangovers great and small, it is mildly ­surprising to find how few real descriptions of the experience our literature can boast  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) Totalitarian is a cliché, dictatorship is based on clichéd thinking, on very tried and tested uniform stuff. They don’t mind that they’re boring, they don’t mind that they’re obvious, their point is made  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) In my life, the only certainty is to be uncertain. I’m an unbeliever who believes in skepticism. I’m only sure about being unsure  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) I’m a member of no party. I have no ideology. I’m a rationalist. I do what I can in the international struggle between science and reason and the barbarism, superstition and stupidity that’s all around us  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) Unlike other countries, it was founded on written proclamations. America is an ideal as well as a republic. Its documents are open to revisions. They’re works in progress. There’s an invitation to participate  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) One of the most repellent spectacles at election times is the pretense of piety on the part of people running for office  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) It is only those who hope to transform human beings who end up by burning them, like the waste product of a failed experiment  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) I have quite a decent constitution in spite of all my abuse of it and my advanced years. I’m still quite robust  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) I mean, what would I be doing if I couldn’t write? But that fortunately hasn’t proved to be the case and I can read any day. I still read a lot, and I can write any day, but much more slowly and fewer words  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) A good liar must have a good memory. Kissinger is a stupendous liar with a remarkable memory  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) Forgotten were the elementary rules of logic, that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and that what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) My own opinion is enough for me, and I claim the right to have it defended against any consensus, any majority, anywhere, any place, any time. And anyone who disagrees with this can pick a number, get in line, and kiss my ass  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) The reading public isn’t born that doesn’t think foreigners are either funny or faintly sinister  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) Only a humorless tyrant could want a perpetual chanting of praises that, one has no choice but to assume, would be the innate virtues and splendors furnished him by his creator, infinite regression, drowned in praise!  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) The person who is certain, and who claims divine warrant for his certainty, belongs now to the infancy of our species  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) Violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children: organized religion ought to have a great deal on its conscience  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) Religion, it is true, still possesses the huge if cumbersome and unwieldy advantage of having come first  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) If religious instruction were not allowed until the child had attained the age of reason, we would be living in a quite different world  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) Mockery of religion is one of the most essential things... one of the beginnings of human emancipation is the ability to laugh at authority  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) There are all kinds of stupid people that annoy me but what annoys me most is a lazy argument  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) I’ve had some dark nights of the soul, of course, but giving in to depression would be a sellout, a defeat  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes) My own view is that this planet is used as a penal colony, lunatic asylum and dumping ground by a superior civilisation, to get rid of the undesirable and unfit.

It can be a difficult choice  (Christopher Hitchens Quotes)
