Quote by Christopher Hitchens

“Find a society that's adopted the teachings of Spinoza, Voltaire, Galileo, Einstein, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson and gone down the pits—as a result of doing that—into famine and war and dictatorship and torture and repression. That's the experiment I would like to run. I don't think that's going to end up with a gulag.”

“Esses crentes chegam muito falantes, enfiados em ternos, a gravata apertando o gogó, o cabelo na risca do pente. Mas só de olhar para os pés a gente já sabe do que se trata. Antes de falar em Deus, falam no dízimo, antes de falar em Cristo, falam no diabo. Já viu como o diabo não sai da boca desse gente? Não têm caridade, só interesse. Caixeiros-viajantes.”

“When you really know what you're focused on, you can manifest what you truly want in your life. The trick is to get out of our own damn way. I guarantee that we are the biggest obstacle to achieving the things we want to achieve. But because we're not often clear in what we want, if we're off course or unfocused, we're just going to be like an electron bouncing around the nucleus of a cell, or a planet floating around this star of fire, forever burning energy as we just flail around through life. That's not good.”
