Christopher Hitchens Quotes:
Ocupation: Author
Life: April 13, 1949 - December 15, 2011
Birthday: April 13
Death: December 15
Though it is true we are the highest and smartest animals, ospreys have eyes we have calculated to be sixty times more powerful and sophisticated than our own and that blindness, often caused by microscopic parasites that are themselves miracles of ingenuity, is one of the oldest and most tragic disorders known to man. And why award the superior eye (or in the case of cat or bat, also the ear) to the inferior species.
