As I noted in the other Hitchens topic here, I never knew much about his works until recently.  I am impressed with the latitudes and altitudes that I missed.  Like Oscar Wilde and H. L. Mencken, he was a cogent critic.

..........Machiavelli wrote of going to his study to read in the evening: “At the threshold, I take off my work-day clothes, filled with dust and mud, and don royal and curial garments. Worthily dressed, I enter into the ancient courts of the men of antiquity, where, warmly received, I feed on that which is my only food and which was meant for me.”............


Good quote, taken the above article: and speaks well why I so enjoy reading the ROR forums.
