Christopher Hitchens Quotes
- Religion is part of the human make-up. It's also part of our cultural and intellectual history.

- There's been some research in cognitive science, I'm told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it's white noise.
- Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a mistake.
- I have more than once in my time woken up feeling like death.
