Quote by Christopher Hitchens
A lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations

A lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. And sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other peoples hope. – Christopher Hitchens
