“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Christopher Hitchens

I liked his later work, when he realized he was dying. It had a freshness and a humility to it.

The God Is Not Great stuff and the pro-Iraq war stuff was just awful, I thought.

He had a kind of anti-BS BS, which I also didn't care for too much.
