Christopher Hitchens Quotes About Surrender

Quotes about: Surrender

• Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals. It's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated.

• Islam in its origins is just as shady and approximate as those from which it took its borrowings.

There is nothing-absolutely nothing-in its teachings that can even begin to justify such arrogance and presumption.
