Quote by Christopher Hitchens
On page 607, alluding to the end of my first marriage (and carefully remembering to state that that's none of his business), he very sweetly says that I 'might leave a wife, but not a friend.' Nice try. Neat smear. But he shouldn't be so sure....
Summary

The speaker chooses to not reveal the person responsible for the remark and emphasizes that it is none of their business. The speaker, however, dismisses the comment as an attempt to subtly undermine their character, insinuating that while their marriage may have failed, they are not devoid of friendship or positive interpersonal connections. The quote suggests a defiance against assumptions and a willingness to challenge the perceptions of others.
