More quotes by Stephen Fry
One of the reasons I love the online world is that although that exists in abundance you can choose absolutely which part of the online world you want to live in. You can make your own kingdom in that sense.
Stephen Fry
The people I know who swear the most tend to have the widest vocabularies.
Stephen Fry
Many people would no more think of entering journalism than the sewage business - which at least does us all some good.

Stephen Fry
There is simply no limit to the tyrannical snobbery that otherwise decent people can descend into when it comes to music.
Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry
There is not any way that you can just choose the nice bits and say that means there is a God and ignore the true fact of what nature is.
Stephen Fry
Money is to Everything as an Aeroplane is to Australia. The aeroplane isn't Australia, but it remains the only practical way we know of reaching it. So perhaps, metonymically, the aeroplane is Australia after all.
Stephen Fry
I think we have all experienced passion that is not in any sense reasonable.
Stephen Fry
What makes a good family? Well, I suppose obviously love. Love lubricated often I think by humor. I think a family that can laugh at each other and tease themselves and who are able to be jolly with each other I think is the key.
Stephen Fry
Coming out as gay was an easy enough matter for me, since I worked in a profession where being gay had a long history of being accepted.
Stephen Fry
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
Hell, I am young. I am free. My teeth are clean. The sun shines. To hell with everything else
Stephen Fry
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
