Christopher Hitchens

To quote his friend Martin Amis, Hitchens was “one of the most terrifying rhetoricians the world has yet seen.” An English-American socio-political critic and public intellectual.

  • "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and that what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."

    — Christopher Hitchens

  • "The denial is so often the preface to the justification."

    — Christopher Hitchens

  • "Everything about Christianity is contained in the pathetic image of 'the flock'."

    — Christopher Hitchens

  • "A life that partakes even a little of friendship, love, irony, humor, parenthood, literature, and music, and the chance to take part in battles for the liberation of others cannot be called ‘meaningless’ except if the person living it is also an existentialist and elects to call it so."

    — Christopher Hitchens

  • "One melancholy lesson of advancing years is the realization that you can’t make old friends."

    — Christopher Hitchens
