Christopher Hitchens Quotes

[Nicholson] Baker Can't Seem To Get Enough Of The Wisdom Of Gandhi And Cites At Length An Open Letter He Wrote To The British People On 3 July 1940. "Your Soldiers Are Doing The Same Work Of Destruction As The Germans," Wrote The Mahatma. "I Want You To Fight Nazism Without Arms." He Went On To Say: "Let Them Take Possession Of Your Beautiful Island, With Your Many Beautiful Buildings. You Will Give All These, But Neither Your Souls, Nor Your Minds. If These Gentlemen Choose To Occupy Your Homes, You Will Vacate Them. If They Do Not Give You Free Passage Out, You Will Allow Yourself, Man, Woman And Child, To Be Slaughtered, But You Will Refuse To Owe Allegiance To Them." I Must Say That Everything In Me Declines To Be Addressed In That Tone Of Voice
