Not used it in a romantic context, strangely! It does have its moments in other scenarios though, great way of saying, I really don't give a shit.
The late Christopher Hitchens disposing of religious faith: "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."
An unsung genius from the old alt.music newsgroups: "Before there can be 'lap' ... there must be 'sit'." - explaining causality to a kitten.
Yes, that line of Hitchens's was quoted by Sam Harris in The End of Faith. It encapsulates so many arguments. BTW I used to know Chris Hitchens at Oxford back in about 1970 - he was a lot more mature as a 20 year old than I was.
Wow, it must be amazing to have known one of the great original thinkers of our time. Here's a quote from Harris' "Letter to a Christian Nation" : Tell a devout Christian that his wife is cheating on him, or that frozen yoghurt can make a man invisible, and he is likely to require as much evidence as anyone else, and to be persuaded only to the extent that you give it. Tell him that the book he keeps by his bed was written by an invisible deity who will punish him with fire for eternity if he fails to accept its every incredible claim about the universe, and he seems to require no evidence whatsoever.
