To be human and to be adult means constantly to be in the grip of opposing emotions, to have daily to reconcile apparently conflicting tensions. I want this, but need that. I cherish this, but I adore its opposite too.

[...] I suppose this was the first time I had ever felt an urge not to be. Never an urge to die, far less an urge to put an end to myself - simply an urge not to be. This disgusting, hostile and unlovely world was not made for me, nor I for it. It was alien to me and I to it.

Image
It only takes a room of Americans for the English and Australians to realise how much we have in common.
Stephen Fry
Image
there is no reason why anyone should understand how it works… and of course no reason why anyone should care … unless you are curious, in which case I love you, for curiosity about the world and all its corners is a beautiful thing.
Stephen Fry
Image
I believe that poetry is a primal impulse within us all.
Stephen Fry
Image
I think I'm most nervous about revealing how nervous I have always been. People think me calm, confident, poised. Inside I'm a jelly.
Stephen Fry
Image
I've always been aware of my sexuality, but I never quite knew what it meant.
Stephen Fry
Image
A month's salary, deep regret, the telephone number of some foul rehab clinic and my lance was free.
Stephen Fry
Image
I have always been an impassioned advocate for the works of Shakespeare. I regard him as one of the most complete miracles of his or any other age.

Image
How to seperate the humiliation from the loss, that's the catch. You can never be sure if what tortures you is the pain of being without someone you love or the embarrassment of admitting that you have been rejected.

I may have looked happy but inside I was hopelessly depressed.
