Christopher Hitchens Quotes

Now, I have always wanted to agree with Lady Bracknell that there is no earthly use for the upper and lower classes unless they set each other a good example. But I shouldn't pretend that the consensus itself was any of my concern.

I suppose that, if this collection has a point, it is the desire of one individual to see the idea of confrontation kept alive.

Christopher Hitchens
