Quotes by Christopher Hitchens: The complete collection of over 300 quotes

By Lilith Regan

"Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.""That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.""To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation-is that good for the world?""Everybody does have a book in them, but in most cases that's where it should stay.""Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.""Human decency is not derived from religion. It precedes it.""The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks.""We keep on being told that religion, whatever its imperfections, at least instills morality. On every side, there is conclusive evidence that the contrary is the case and that faith causes people to be more mean, more selfish, and perhaps above all, more stupid."
