More quotes by 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
Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once. It is an insult to creation not to experience it fully. Temperance is wickedness.
Stephen Fry
You think homosexuality is disgusting? Then, it follows as the night the day, that you find sex disgusting, for there is nothing done between two men or two women that is, by any objective standard, different from that which is done between a man and a woman.
Stephen Fry
Oscar Wilde quite rightly said, 'All art is useless'. And that may sound as if that means it's something not worth supporting. But if you actually think about it, the things that matter in life are useless. Love is useless. Wine is useless. Art is the love and wine of life. It is the extra, without which life is not worth living.
Stephen Fry
If you have been, I'm glad you've stopped.
Stephen Fry
Things are always worse in the steady watches of the night.
Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry
If you go looking for loonies and religious fanatics and dropouts and freaks, I dare say you'll find it.
Stephen Fry
You don't need a Harvard MBA to know that the bedroom and the boardroom are just two sides of the same ballgame.
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
As if a device can function if it has no style. As if a device can be called stylish that does not function superbly... yes, beauty matters. Boy, does it matter. It is not surface, it is not an extra, it is the thing itself.
Stephen Fry
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and you will be happy.
Stephen Fry
Generally, we admire the thing we are not.
Stephen Fry
Everything had been based on a kind of certainty, a sense of man at the center of things, a sense of order and hierarchy. And suddenly, almost simultaneously, extraordinary discoveries are made.
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
You can't reason yourself back into cheerfulness any more than you can reason yourself into an extra six inches in height.
Stephen Fry
Music takes me to places of illimitable sensual and insensate joy, accessing points of ecstasy that no angelic lover could ever locate, or plunging me into gibbering weeping hells of pain that no torturer could ever devise.
Stephen Fry
The other man's arse is always cleaner!
Stephen Fry
A month's salary, deep regret, the telephone number of some foul rehab clinic and my lance was free.
Stephen Fry
We always make the mistake, the fatal mistake in the case of military people, of imagining that each war will be a kind of version of the one that happened previously.
Stephen Fry
