There is no right language or wrong language any more than there are right or wrong clothes.
Stephen Fry
Image
How can one not be fond of something that the Daily Mail despises?
Stephen Fry
Image
It is easy to forget that the most important aspect of comedy, after all, its great saving grace, is its ambiguity. You can simultaneously laugh at a situation, and take it seriously.

Between funny and witty Falls the shadow
Stephen Fry
Image
Alternative medicine people call themselves holistic and say it's the whole approach. Well, if it's the whole approach, let it be the mind as well. Use logic, use sense, use the incredible five wits you were given by creation.
Stephen Fry
Image
Mankind can live free in a society hemmed in by laws, but we have yet to find a historical example of mankind living free in lawless anarchy.
Stephen Fry
Image
If you know someone who's depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation depression just is, like the weather.

Image
Like vichyssoise, revenge is a dish best served cold.

Glory never arrives through the front door. She sneaks in uninvited round the back or through an upstairs window while you are sleeping.
