The high ambition, therefore, seems to me to be this: that one should strive to combine the maximum of impatience with the maximum of skepticism, the maximum of hatred of injustice with the maximum of ironic self-criticism. This would mean really deciding to learn from history rather than invoking or sloganizing it.
–Christopher Hitchens, ‘Letters to a Young Contrarian’ (2001)
