Throughout today and tomorrow, we’ll be sharing with you snippets from the recent New Yorker profile of Christopher Hitchens, which still isn’t available online. It’s chock full of great Hitchens quotes and facts.

Let’s begin:

    He still writes a great deal, at a speed at which most people read.
    And, at fifty-seven, he still has an arrest-photograph air about him-
    looking like someone who, with as much dignity as possible, has
    smoothed his hair and straightened his collar after knocking the
    helmet off a policeman.
