Christopher Hitchens Quotes
The Most Satisfying Compliment A Reader Can Pay Is To Tell Me That He Or She Feels Personally Addressed. Think Of Your Own Favorite Authors And See If That Isn't Precisely One Of The Things That Engages You, Often At First Without Your Noticing It. A Good Conversation Is The Only Human Equivalent: The Realizing That Decent Points Are Being Made And Understood, That Irony Is In Play, And Elaboration, And That A Dull Or Obvious Remark Would Be Almost Physically Hurtful. This Is How Philosophy Evolved In The Symposium, Before Philosophy Was Written Down. And Poetry Began With The Voice As Its Only Player And The Ear As Its Only Recorder.
