Let us be profoundly glad that Christopher Hitchens lived. We should cherish the memory of his words, wit and character.
Let us hope that everyone will rekindle his appreciation for the gift of life and the gift of other people. Let us honour the life of Christopher Hitchens by living more nobly, thinking and reasoning for ourselves, putting away supersition and religious mythology and loving life in the days ahead.
Let us be honest with death. Let us not pretend that it is less than it is. It is separation. It is sorrow. It is grief. But let us neither pretend that death is more than it is. As long as we have our memory and as long as his writing and online videos endure, his influence will be felt.
Christopher Hitchens, we salute you. You educated us, made us think and laugh.
Thank you for helping us have a better outlook on life's realities and the beauty of life. Thank you for helping us live a better life.
We will always be thankful for reading your work and watching you speak through videos online.
"Take the risk of thinking for yourself, much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way." - Christopher Hitchens
