Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.
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

How dare you? How dare you create a world in which there is such misery that is not our fault? It's not right, it's utterly, utterly evil. Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid god who creates a world that is so full of injustice and pain?
Stephen Fry

I believe in kindness and niceness and lots of spiritual things, but the real intellectual rigor and quest of logic is something that I'm afraid takes incredibly hard work and we live in an age in which hard work is if not actively deprecated or denigrated it is run away from or ignored.

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.

I was born Mary Patterson, but then I married and naturally took my husband's name, so now I'm Neil Patterson.

I've never had any illusions about being a lead actor in films, because lead actors have to be of a certain kind.

I get an urge, like a pregnant elephant, to go away and give birth to a book.

I think Eros should be dirty. In Greek legend, as I'm sure you are aware, he fell in love with the minor deity Psyche. It was the Greek way of saying that, in spite of what it may believe, Love pursues the Soul, not the body the Erotic desires the Psychic. If Love was clean and wholesome he wouldn't lust after Psyche.

Life, that can shower you with so much splendour, is unremittingly cruel to those who have given up.

It only takes a room of Americans for the English and Australians to realise how much we have in common.

The performance of buggery is no more inevitable a part of homosexuality than an orange syllabub is an inevitable part of a dinner: some may clamour for it and instantly demand a second helping, some are not interested, some decide they will try it once and then instantly vomit.
