Love in all eight tones and all five semitones of the word's full octave.
Stephen Fry
Image
Life is sometimes novel-shaped, mocking the efforts of those authors who, in an effort to make their novels life-shaped, spurn the easy symmetry and cheap resonance of reality.
Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry
Image
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
Image
Self pity is the worst possible emotion anyone can have. And the most destructive. It is, to slightly paraphrase what Wilde said about hatred, and I think actually hatred's a subset of self pity and not the other way around - 'It destroys everything around it, except itself.'
Stephen Fry
Image
Personally, I'd never seen a graphic novel. I knew they existed because friends of mine like Jonathan Ross collect them and some very literate and intelligent people really rate the graphic novel as a form.
Stephen Fry

I think faith in each other is much harder than faith in God...
Stephen Fry
Image
I'm afraid I don't believe there is such a thing as blasphemy, just outrage from those insecure in their own faith.

The other man's arse is always cleaner!

Sex without smiling is as sickly and as base as vodka and tonic without ice.

That one can love another of the same gender, that is what the homophobe really cannot stand.
