A speech idiosyncrasy, in the same way as an air quote, is really justifiable only if it's employed very sparingly and if the user consciously intends to be using it.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
Just as the humble, unassuming, assenting 'O.K.' has deposed the more affirmative 'Yes,' so the little cringe and hesitation and approximation of 'like' are a help to young people who are struggling to negotiate the shoals and rapids of ethnic identity, the street, and general correctness.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
The citizens of Tumortown are forever assailed with cures and rumors of cures.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
Only the aspirants for president are fool enough to believe what they read in the newspapers.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
You can be a Polish American, or an Arab American, or a Greek American but you can't be English American. Why not?
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
In the grip of a neurological disorder, I am fast losing control of words even as my relationship with the world has been reduced to them.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
I don't think consensus-building politics is what I'm meant to be doing.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
I make preparations both to live and to die every day, but with the emphasis on not dying, and on acting as if I was going to carry on living.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
The great thing about the United States and the historically magnetic effect it has had on a lot of people like me is its generosity, to put it simply.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
The cause of my life has been to oppose superstition. It's a battle you can't hope to win - it's a battle that's going to go on forever. It's part of the human condition.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
George Bush made a mistake when he referred to the Saddam Hussein regime as 'evil.' Every liberal and leftist knows how to titter at such black-and-white moral absolutism.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn't ever have to rely on the press for my information.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
I don't think Romney is wacky at all, but religion makes intelligent people say and do wacky things, believe and affirm crazy things. Left on his own, Romney would never have said something like the Garden Of Eden was in Missouri, and will be again.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
The secular argument, or the liberal argument, is to as much as possible remove taboos so things do not become unmentionable; to let some air into the discussion.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
It's true that obscenity is a matter of taste and in the eye of the beholder.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
The people who tend to raise antiwar slogans will do so generally when it's American or British interests involved.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
The penalty for getting mugged in an American city and losing your ID is that you can't fly home.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
For the people who ostensibly wish me well or are worried about my immortal soul, I say I take it kindly.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
People until I was 60 would always say they thought I looked younger, which I think, without flattering myself, I did, but I think I certainly have, as George Orwell says people do after a certain age, the face they deserve.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
If you look at any Muslim society and you make a scale of how developed they are, and how successful the economy is, it's a straight line. It depends on how much they emancipate their women.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
The Koran shows every sign of being thrown together by human beings, as do all the other holy books.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
My dear wife has, I would say, probably never opened a religious book, and seems to be one of those people to whom the whole idea is utterly remote and absurd.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
Well, I'll put it this way: you can certainly say belief in God makes people behave worse. That can be proved beyond a doubt.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
Cancer victimhood contains a permanent temptation to be self-centred and even solipsistic.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
I don't think souls or bodies can be changed by incantation. Or anything else by the way.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
Not many people come through esophageal cancer and live to talk about it, or not for long.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
I still make sure to go, at least once every year, to a country where things cannot be taken for granted, and where there is either too much law and order or too little.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
A lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. And sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other people's hope.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
I'd always somehow felt slightly as if I'd been born in the wrong country.
Quote by -Christopher Hitchens
I have nowhere claimed nor even implied that unbelief is a guarantee of good conduct or even an indicator of it.
