"I have one consistency, which is being against the totalitarian - on the left and on the right. The totalitarian, to me, is the enemy; the one that's absolute, the one that wants control over the inside of your head, not just your actions and your taxes." ~ Christopher Hitchens
“Then they entered the city and, as night fell, found themselves at the dawn of time, and in the midst of the chaos that is the first condition of all new universes.” Fiction by Salman Rushdie. nyer.cm/CDOS8D7
@AdrianBonenber1 @SilvermanJacob When he would learn that something bad had befallen someone he disliked intensely, Christopher Hitchens used to assume a caricatural, 'Colonel Klink-style' stage German accent and say, "And you know, for a moment I almost felt sorry for them."

“I need the junky energy that scotch can provide, and the intense short-term concentration that nicotine can help supply. To be crouched over a book or keyboard, with these conditions of mingled reverie and alertness, is my highest happiness” - Christopher Hitchens
“Nazism was obsessed by art and ‘culture’ but was almost by definition incapable of creating anything that could be recognized as such. It was, however, capable both of destroying art and plundering it.” Art in Peril: The Third Reich and the Old Masters, @washingtonpost 06/05/94

"The God of the Old Testament is the most unpleasant character in all fiction". The opening words of Chapter 2 of The God Delusion. See also Dan Barker's book with that title, which justifies it fully, giving chapter and verse.
I have great hopes that the God of Abraham will go the way of the gods of Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome and the Vikings.
Christopher Hitchens died and our culture was thrown into absolute chaos
"I have one consistency, which is being against the totalitarian - on the left and on the right. The totalitarian, to me, is the enemy; the one that's absolute, the one that wants control over the inside of your head, not just your actions and your taxes." ~ Christopher Hitchens

It appears from her very first novel. And Christopher Hitchens said that when he dined with her in the 1960s, the “anti-Jewish flavour of the talk was not to be ignored or overlooked, or put down to heavy humour or generational prejudice. It was vividly unpleasant.”
"Religion is poison because it asks us to give up our most precious faculty, which is that of reason, and to believe things without evidence. It then asks us to respect this, which it calls faith." ~Christopher Hitchens~
He's been a lickspittle for Castro, Saddam Hussein, Assad, Ahmedinijad and Chavez; and now Russia state-affiliated George Galloway is parroting Putin's lies. As the late, great Christopher Hitchens said of him... “The man’s hunt for a tyrannical fatherland never ends.”
This Sam Harris clip has been so helpful in reminding me over the years to live in the present moment instead of constantly looking over its shoulder. I watch it often. The speech is called "Death and the Present Moment" and it was one of his best!💜youtu.be/ITTxTCz4Ums
Be suspicious of all those who employ the term 'We' or 'Us' without any permission This is a form of surreptitious conscription Always ask who this 'We' is; as often as not it's an attempt to smuggle TRIBALISM through customs. ~ Christopher Hitchens
I so wish Christopher Hitchens was still with us. Can you imagine his response?
