From the introduction to Chapter 4 of Hitchens' god is not Great:
In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide; he knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind old men as guides.
- Heinrich Heine, Gedanken Und Einfalle

I love that quote.
Just spent a couple hours watching Hitchens and Dawkins on Youtube. Man, there are hundreds of different clips to see! Very enlightening stuff.
