"We have the same job we always have, to say as thinking people and as humans that there are no final solutions, there is no absolute truth, there is no supreme leader, there is no totalitarian solution, that says if you would just give up your freedom of inquiry, if you would just abandon your critical faculties a world of idiotic bliss can be yours, but we have to begin by repudiating all such claims. Grand rabbi’s, chief ayatollahs, infallible popes, the peddlers or surrogate and mutant quasi political religion and worship. The dear leader, the great leader, we have no need for any of this, and looking at them and their record and the pathos of their supporters I realize that it is they who are the grand imposters and my own imposture this evening was mild by comparison, Thank you very much."-Christopher Hitchens |
