More quotes by Stephen Fry
Entry is not equivalent to possession.
Stephen Fry
Those who rule the world get so little opportunity to run about and laugh and play in it.
Stephen Fry
When you've seen a nude infant doing a backward somersault you know why clothing exists.
Stephen Fry
If you go looking for loonies and religious fanatics and dropouts and freaks, I dare say you'll find it.
Stephen Fry
...as absurd and dishonest as claiming that the trouble with computer games is that they stop people watching television.
Stephen Fry
It was behaviour that I thought not far from racism, sexism or any other kind of prejudice or snobbery. 'Because you are not cute, I do not want to know you' was, to me, hardly different from suggesting 'because you are gay, I dislike you
Stephen Fry
Seriousness is no more a guarantee of truth, insight, authenticity or probity, than humour is a guarantee of superficiality and stupidity.
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
Hey-ho, it's raining inside: it isn't my fault and there's nothing I can do about it, but sit it out. But the sun may well come out tomorrow and when it does, I shall take full advantage.
Stephen Fry
You'll often hear the phrase science doesn't know everything. Well, of course it doesn't know everything. But just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean that it knows nothing.
Stephen Fry
Most of the problem I see amongst friends and I've experienced amongst myself is when people haven't accommodated the inequality that they want, they haven't understood that their partner wants to give more love and receive less or they haven't understood that their partner wants to receive more, but sort of give less.
Stephen Fry
What makes a good family? Well, I suppose obviously love. Love lubricated often I think by humor. I think a family that can laugh at each other and tease themselves and who are able to be jolly with each other I think is the key.
Stephen Fry
If there were a God he would want us to be better spirited than to take his word for everything.
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
Families where there is not much laughter I think are signs of some sort of dysfunctionality or sickness.
Stephen Fry
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.
Stephen Fry
I like people who are as unlike me as possible, which is not an expression of self disgust or self hatred, but it's just that you know you obviously particularly admire things that you recognize yourself as not having.
Stephen Fry
I do think it's important not to be absolutely sure, so sure that you can't reinvent yourself in some way, or at least rediscover the truth of why you think what you think, and not just take it as an assumption.
Stephen Fry
There is simply no limit to the tyrannical snobbery that otherwise decent people can descend into when it comes to music.
Stephen Fry
Love in all eight tones and all five semitones of the word's full octave.
Stephen Fry
