More quotes by Stephen Fry
A book is judged, not by its reference to life, but by its reference to other books.
Stephen Fry
I think we have all experienced passion that is not in any sense reasonable.
Stephen Fry
A month's salary, deep regret, the telephone number of some foul rehab clinic and my lance was free.
Stephen Fry
How can one not be fond of something that the Daily Mail despises?
Stephen Fry
It was as if he grew his hair long and smoked cigarettes because he liked to, not because he liked being seen to. This was dangerously subversive.
Stephen Fry
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.
Stephen Fry
I can understand the Greek idea that there are these these principles of lightening or of war or of wisdom and to embody them, to personify them into a Athena or Aries or whichever god you want makes enormous sense.
Stephen Fry
I'm afraid I was very much the traditionalist. I went down on one knee and dictated a proposal which my secretary faxed over straight away.
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
Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.
Stephen Fry
There are some things I don't like, about which I think, well, that's me. But coriander is a giant hoax perpetrated by a perverted society.
Stephen Fry
To me, reason is as spiritual as anything else, the beauty of reason seems to me indelible and ineffable and numinous... the spirit is after all the same word we use to describe... essence
Stephen Fry
I am magnificently prepared for the long littleness of life. There is diddley-squat for me to look forward to. Zilch, zero, zip-all, sweet lipperty-pipperty nothing. The only thought that will give me the energy to carry on is that someone has a life which would be diminished by my departure from it.
Stephen Fry
When you've seen a nude infant doing a backward somersault you know why clothing exists.
Stephen Fry
I'd probably want to teach at university, because children would drive me insane. I suspect it would be English literature, Shakespeare and so forth. I've always been deeply, deeply in love with that kind of thing.
Stephen Fry
My father was all brain and little heart.
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
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
You can act in five, six, or seven films in the time it takes to direct one film.
Stephen Fry
Somehow, as a writer, you tend to use words to paper over structural cracks.
Stephen Fry
