Like vichyssoise, revenge is a dish best served cold.
Stephen Fry
Life, that can shower you with so much splendour, is unremittingly cruel to those who have given up.
Stephen Fry
I have always been an impassioned advocate for the works of Shakespeare. I regard him as one of the most complete miracles of his or any other age.

Stephen Fry
Incuriosity is the oddest and most foolish failing there is.
Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry
I think we have all experienced passion that is not in any sense reasonable.
Stephen Fry
Self-consciousness, that's what it is. Always my abiding vice. I keep seeing myself. Me watching myself watching others watch me. How do you lose that? What's the trick?
Stephen Fry
