Christopher Hitchens Quotes
The Lawbreaking Itch Is Not Always An Anarchic One. In The First Place, The Human Personality Has (or Ought To Have) A Natural Resistance To Coercion. We Don't Like To Be Pushed And Shoved, Even If It's In A Direction We Might Choose To Go. In The Second Place, The Human Personality Has (or Ought To Have) A Natural Sense Of The Preposterous. Thus, Just Behind My Apartment Building In Washington There Is An Official Sign Saying, Drug-Free Zone. I Think This Comic Inscription May Be Done Because It's Close To A Schoolyard. And A Few Years Back, One Of Our Suburbs Announced By A Municipal Ordinance That It Was A "nuclear-free Zone." I Don't Wish To Break The First Law, Though If I Did Wish To Do So It Would Take Me, Or Any Other Local Resident, No More Than One Phone Call And A Ten-minute Wait. I Did, At Least For A While, Pine To Break The "nuclear-free" Regulation, On Grounds Of Absurdity Alone, But Eventually Decided That It Would Be Too Much Trouble.
