More quotes by Stephen Fry
Entry is not equivalent to possession.
Stephen Fry
Love in all eight tones and all five semitones of the word's full octave.
Stephen Fry
All the cold-reading clairvoyants and the nonsensical astrologers and absurd ESP merchants and other such people who talk about vibrations and energies.... God, if there's a word that drives me mad it's energy used in a nonsensical way-don't get me started!
Stephen Fry
And of course you are mad, if by a madman we mean a mind that questions and rejects every civilized norm.
Stephen Fry
Books are no more threatened by Kindle than stairs by elevators.
Stephen Fry
Thank you for your input I can tell you are struggling towards being interesting.
Stephen Fry
We always make the mistake, the fatal mistake in the case of military people, of imagining that each war will be a kind of version of the one that happened previously.
Stephen Fry
I shouldn't be saying this, high treason really, but I sometimes wonder if Americans aren't fooled by our accent into detecting a brilliance that may not really be there.
Stephen Fry
My first meeting with you only confirmed what I first suspected. You are a fraud, a charlatan and a shyster. My favourite kind of person, in fact.
Stephen Fry
I think faith in each other is much harder than faith in God...
Stephen Fry
I'm absolute attacking my own instinct for politeness, but I think I admire artists who just speak out or who are strong, so it's very hard.
Stephen Fry
That's alright, said Hugo. I've got some wine Which was about all he seemed to have. He poured out two mugfuls. Very nice, said Adrian, sipping appreciatively. I wonder how they got the cat to sit on the bottle. It's cheap, that's the main thing.
Stephen Fry
Why should I be depressed? I've got enough money. I've got a job. People like me. There is no to be depressed. That's at stupid as saying there is no reason to have asthma or there is no reason to have the measles. You know you've got it. It's there. It's not about reason.
Stephen Fry
My parents were marvelously educated people.
Stephen Fry
I have to mime at parties when everyone sings Happy Birthday... Mime or mumble and rumble and growl and grunt so deep that only moles, manta rays and mushrooms can hear me.
Stephen Fry
My father was all brain and little heart.
Stephen Fry
Money no longer has any meaning. Civilization is coming to an end. If not the destruction of the world, it's an endless stalemate.
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
Atheism comes into rather a bad press and I suppose I'd rather describe myself as a humanist... I don't believe in God. I don't believe there is a God.
Stephen Fry
Everything had been based on a kind of certainty, a sense of man at the center of things, a sense of order and hierarchy. And suddenly, almost simultaneously, extraordinary discoveries are made.
Stephen Fry
