More quotes by Stephen Fry
I do think it's important not to be absolutely sure, so sure that you can't reinvent yourself in some way, or at least rediscover the truth of why you think what you think, and not just take it as an assumption.
Stephen Fry
There is no right language or wrong language any more than there are right or wrong clothes.
Stephen Fry
It is a cliche that most cliches are true, but then like most cliches, that cliche is untrue.
Stephen Fry
I'm afraid I don't believe there is such a thing as blasphemy, just outrage from those insecure in their own faith.
Stephen Fry
I don't believe there is a God. If I were to believe in a god, l would believe in gods.
Stephen Fry
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
You can act in five, six, or seven films in the time it takes to direct one film.
Stephen Fry
The people I know who swear the most tend to have the widest vocabularies.
Stephen Fry
To be human and to be adult means constantly to be in the grip of opposing emotions, to have daily to reconcile apparently conflicting tensions. I want this, but need that. I cherish this, but I adore its opposite too.
Stephen Fry
We don't stop talking about how the world might be better just because we have no chance of making it to Prime Minister. We are all politicians. We are all artists. In an open society everything the mind and hands can achieve is our birthright. It is up to us to claim it.
Stephen Fry
The email of the species is deadlier than the mail.
Stephen Fry
No adolescent ever wants to be understood, which is why they complain about being misunderstood all the time.
Stephen Fry
Just as it is the love of money that is the root of all evil, it is the belief in shamefulness that is the root of all misery.
Stephen Fry
Those who rule the world get so little opportunity to run about and laugh and play in it.
Stephen Fry
I believe that poetry is a primal impulse within us all.
Stephen Fry
If there were a God he would want us to be better spirited than to take his word for everything.
Stephen Fry
It's now very common to hear people say 'I'm rather offended by that'.
Stephen Fry
I think my view is that whenever you project into the future you're never likely to be accurate in the details, or the paraphernalia and style. It's in the spirit of it.
Stephen Fry
A film star is a kind of public monument, and everyone's staring at them, and they've kind of got railings around them, and they're rather miserable most of the time.
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!
