More quotes by Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry
My first meeting with you only confirmed what I first suspected. You are a fraud, a charlatan and a shyster. My favourite kind of person, in fact.
Stephen Fry
You can never hope to recapture the first fine careless rapture as the poet put it, but it stays with you like a good acid trip.
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
Families where there is not much laughter I think are signs of some sort of dysfunctionality or sickness.
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
Knowing what I now know I would never have done anything so fatuous but then I never would have known what I know now had I not.
Stephen Fry
No adolescent ever wants to be understood, which is why they complain about being misunderstood all the time.
Stephen Fry
My parents were marvelously educated people.
Stephen Fry
Somehow, as a writer, you tend to use words to paper over structural cracks.
Stephen Fry
