◼ Ever the atheist even in the foxhole, he cautioned his friends and fans to not “trouble deaf Heaven with prayers for me,” but most did, anyway. - Dana Loesch at Big Journalism
◼ In Memoriam: Christopher Hitchens, 1949–2011 - Vanity Fair
“My chief consolation in this year of living dyingly has been the presence of friends,” he wrote in the June 2011 issue. He died in their presence, too, at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. May his 62 years of living, well, so livingly console the many of us who will miss him dearly. (image source)
