"Well, to the people who pray for me to not only have an agonising death, but then be reborn to have an agonising and horrible eternal life of torture, I say, 'Well, good on you. See you there.'"
- Christopher Hitchens
About this Quote
This quote by Christopher Hitchens is an ironical action to those who wish him an agonising death and an eternal life of abuse. He is buffooning those who want him such a fate, as if to say that he is not afraid of their dangers and that he will not be discouraged by them. He is likewise suggesting that he does not think in the principle of an eternal life of abuse, and that he is positive that he will not be subjected to such a fate. He is basically telling those who want him such a fate that he will see them in the afterlife, as if to say that he is not afraid of them which he will not be frightened by their dangers.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
