This man, along with a very few others, changed my life. He taught me to question everything, to trust my judgement, to not be ashamed of my atheism and to fight against prejudice, injustice and ignorance, not only in others, but in myself. He made me want to be a better human, and set a great example. He was brave, erudite, provocative and honest to his end. I never met him but I shed tears today, and the world is a poorer place for his passing.

"...The discussion about what is good, what is beautiful, what is noble, what is pure, and what is true, could always go on. Why is that important? Why would I like to do that? Because that’s the only conversation worth having. And whether it goes on or not after I did, I don’t know. But I do know it’s the conversation I want to have while I’m still alive. Which means that, to me, the offer of certainty, the offer of complete security, the offer of an impermeable faith that can’t give way, is the offer of something not worth having. I want to live my life taking the risk all the time that I don’t know enough yet. That I haven’t read enough, that I can’t know enough, that I’m always operating hungrily on the margins of a potentially great harvest of future knowledge and wisdom. I wouldn’t have it any other way, and I’d urge you to look at those of you who tell you, those people who tell you at your age, that you’re dead until you believe as they do. What a terrible thing to be telling to children. And that you can only live by accepting an absolute authority. Don’t think of that as a gift — think of it as a poisoned chalice, push it aside however tempting it is, take the risk of thinking for yourself. Much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way."

The Measure of a Man

Every once in a while, somebody appears in one's life whose influence on one is impossible to calculate. Just such a person was Hitch. For clarity of thought, courage of conviction and, above all, soaring prose to which I can only aspire, Hitch was a giant.

Contrary to the written assessments of others, Hitch never changed his political stance. All his statements, from his polemics against the irrationality of unquestioning adherence to doctrinal imperatives to the support of the ousting of tyrants and despots, stemmed from the same core; his social conscience. The latter, especially, oft-misunderstood by many to a quite frightening degree, was consistent from his earliest days to his death. He supported the Falklands war for precisely the same reason that he supported the invasion of Iraq. He saw in Galtieri the same 'evil' that he saw in Saddam Hussein, and his response was the same in both cases. He never swung from the left to the right, he remained rigidly opposed to tyranny wherever he saw it, and was not afraid to voice his opinion, regardless of whether those whose political alignment was similar saw things in the same light, and certainly with no regard to the feelings of anybody who might be offended.

As somebody not generally given to hero-worship, eulogising, or indeed to grief, I am somewhat conflicted in writing this. Do I mourn the passing of Hitchens? Not really. I do mourn the prose that will now remain forever unwritten, for the simple reason that he was matchless in this regard, and because there simply aren't enough intelligent books to counter the tide of vacuous drivel, much of which will undoubtedly be written about the man now his light has gone from the world (quite probably including this very piece).

And such a light! Rarely have I come across such biting wit, such laser-like precision, such eloquent rhetoric. Journalist Michael J Totten says of him that he was 'the greatest writer of our time, who could talk off the top of his head better than most of his colleagues can write' and it's difficult to erect an argument against this.
Author and blogger Ray Garton said of 'god is not Great' that it 'gave me goosebumps when I read it the first time because it read like it had been written by someone who had reached inside my head, rummaged through my thoughts and knew exactly how I felt.' He will be remembered by many as the man who told them it was OK not to believe in nonsense, that it was perfectly acceptable to think one's own thoughts and draw one's own conclusions, regardless of the opinions of the majority of those around us.

For my part, I choose not grief (although I do grieve in some measure) at the passing of the man, but a celebration of his life, conducted in the manner in which he taught me, by striving – even if in vain – to match his eloquence, by continuing to stand against the irrational, by simply living.

Farewell, Hitch, and thank you.

There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.”

Christopher Hitchens was a man that argued relentlessly, apprehensively, bravely, and most importantly rationally, with emphasis on fact. Watching a Hitchens debate is like watching a one-sided fencing match, with Christopher's words consistently resounding the strongest. While I'm sure the phrase "touche" was heard often by Christopher, my gratitude as well as many others simply can't be expressed enough, except in the continuation of the struggle toward true freedom of speech and education, and the preservation of human rights. We who continue to fight for this love you, Christopher Eric Hitchens. May both you and any Totalitarian God be spared the confrontation of ever meeting each other

Mere words can NOT express the love and admiration that we all feel for Christopher Hitchens, yet a statue in his honor might help us all to express that love.

Although I do not live in London (or England for that matter), I would LOVE to know that one will be put up in his honor, and I hope to someday visit that statue.

Christopher Hitchens touched many lives, influenced many, and gave hope to the alienated. He deserves to be remembered for many reasons.

Hitchens was a great debater, critique, author and free-thinker. The world needs more people like him and his statue in London would inspire younger generations to produce works similar to his, which is important in these days and times of religious violence, aggression and hypocrisy.

Sirs,

Quite frankly, we need our society as a whole in the western world to shift towards the admiration of intellectuals and hard working individuals, whose outspokenness and logic can help our world moreso than whatever celebrities are wearing or how drunk they're getting ever could.

I am by no means an elitist, nor a diehard Hitchens fan, but I must admit that I have a great deal of respect for the man and his work, and truly believe that he deserves to be remembered.

Despite my suspicion that Christopher Hitchens would have opposed the decision to erect a statue in his image anywhere, sometimes adherents to certain ideals DO deserve a visual or physical representation of that ideology.

It is my firm conviction that the values that would be associated with a memorial to Christopher Hitchens are integral socially. Hence, I must conclude both that these ideals should be represented publicly in stone and also that there exists no better icon than his visage to represent them.

We must honor these people and although a statue is just a symbol, it will show the defiance of logic and intellect against stupidity and stone age thinking. Please show your support to these individuals by being more like them, be better than them. Put away your illogical and stupid beliefs. One day, when religion is no longer a problem and has been eradicated (flying spaghetti monster willing) we will look back as negatively to the events of nowadays as today we look back to Nazis.

“Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the transcendent and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don’t be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.”

Hitch is responsible for inviting so many people to open their minds, and let go of dogma, in a way that deserves regonition. His writing talent deserves to be honored and revered, a courageous man to his last moments, never swaying from his principles. we love and adore him and will sorely miss his presence as an author and speaker for free thought and true freedom.

Christopher Hitchens is among the best thinkers Britain has produced. I wish we could claim him here in the US. Please recognize his importance with a memorial.

Christopher Hitchens have through his sharp pen together with his keen and witty debate, enriched the public debate throughout his lifetime. To erect a statue in his memory would be a suitable way to remember him, and also to remember his initiative to fight for the things one believe in.

I truly admire Hitchens for what he did, thought and said. A remarkable person, and an ideal symbol of a 21st century human being - open-minded, clever, inquisitive, inspiring, doubtful, modest, humorous, amusing and much more elevated than most of the mundane and two-faced clergymen. Miss you Christopher Hitchens... May your teachings inspire and continue for those yet to be born.

You need a different strategy to organise a memorial statue. Those politicians won't go for that.

It probably depends on local laws too and there may be a workaround.

It might be better to raise money to commission an artist to do it first, and then find someone to display it.

Mackenzie Oliphant,
Great minds should be celebrated and held up as an inspiration to others. Humankind would not have survived this long in a dangerous world without the ability and determination to ask the tough questions. Christopher did this and more. He should be remembered for it.

Hitch defined and soldiered for so much that I believe in including accountability, ethics and free thought. He represented so many of us that wish for and fight for a better world. He is a hero that should be celebrated in the UK and throughout the world.

He was one of the first in a struggle that will hopefully be won during the next 200 years or so. Some things take time, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth doing

The World lost a great legend in the world of Atheism. We lost what I consider one of the presidents of Atheism. When I first got into the religion the first book I read about Atheism was your book "god is not great." A statue would be very appreciated to Atheists all around the world.

The Quote on The Statue Should be: That Which can be Asserted Without Evidence,can be Dismissed Without Evidence.

Lukas Dufka,
My nomination for the plaque quote, slightly edited closing remarks from one of his last debates (I think the plaque should remember something he uttered live, instead of wrote, to commemorate what a great debater and raconteur he was - even though Christopher wrote just as well as he spoke):

"I want to live my life taking the risk all the time that I don’t know anything like enough yet; that I haven’t understood enough; that I can’t know enough; that I’m always hungrily operating on the margins of a potentially great harvest of future knowledge and wisdom. I wouldn’t have it any other way. And I’d urge you to look at those people who tell you that you can only live by accepting an absolute authority — don’t think of that as a gift. Think of it as a poisoned chalice. Push it aside however tempting it is. Take the risk of thinking for yourself. Much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way."

Hitch was a giant inspiration to me and many other to look past the everyday delusion and find true beauty and majesty in the natural world. His well rounded knowledge of science, politics, history, etc. helped me in striving to be a smarter individual. His loss is a great blow to our planet, the intellectual minds that inhabit it, and the force of reason. After losing a well fought battle to cancer (I would expect nothing less than a well fought battle from Mr. Hitchens either), I think a well crafted statue in London is the very least we could do for this amazing man. It is a fitting tribute.
