Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry
There is not any way that you can just choose the nice bits and say that means there is a God and ignore the true fact of what nature is.
Stephen Fry
Entry is not equivalent to possession.
Stephen Fry
Books are no more threatened by Kindle than stairs by elevators.
Stephen Fry
I think I'm most nervous about revealing how nervous I have always been. People think me calm, confident, poised. Inside I'm a jelly.
Stephen Fry
Between funny and witty Falls the shadow
Stephen Fry
