  Transmitting the legacy of Christopher Hitchens is  the reason why I will never fully hate  YouTube

  We lost a great man 10 years ago today. You'll never be forgotten.  RIP Hitch!

  Such an amazing orator. Such an amazing intellect. Such an amazing listener.  Such a wonderful human being.  I miss him every day.

  Hitch was 24 carat gold. The world has lost a treasure. I am from India and can't think of anyone more conversant with the English language than Christopher

  Oh, my word.  He recites the Wilfred Owen poem here.  I never heard this clip before.  It makes me realize how much of this vast archive of Hitch's videos and written work there is yet for me to traverse.

  I believe I have never in my 6 1/2 decades encountered a more incisive, layered, savagely brilliant mind than Hitchens'. Listening to him speak in any forum is like enjoying the most beautiful symphony or reading the most brilliant work of literature.

  Hitch was one of kind. The world lost a treasure with his passing.

  I am moved by hearing that poem read aloud ... wonderful and moving - a very passionate humanity

  Hitch was on top of his game here. His wit seems to come out even more than usual when he’s being interviewed by a friend. God, can you imagine what it must have been like to hang out with him?

  I so admire that the interviewer maintained her authority and didn't miss a beat when Hitchens was flirtatious.

  This guy opened my eyes to so much.    Ill never stop hanging on his words or feeling such sadness that he's gone.

  This is a gem of a discussion. Including a surprise poetry recitation by Hitchens himself! (She’s also a fabulous interviewer for Hitchens)
