More quotes by Stephen Fry
If you go looking for loonies and religious fanatics and dropouts and freaks, I dare say you'll find it.
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
Generally, we admire the thing we are not.
Stephen Fry
I have a dark and dreadful secret. I write poetry... I believe poetry is a primal impulse within all of us. I believe we are all capable of it and furthermore that a small, often ignored corner of us positively yearns to try it.
Stephen Fry
I have to mime at parties when everyone sings Happy Birthday... Mime or mumble and rumble and growl and grunt so deep that only moles, manta rays and mushrooms can hear me.
Stephen Fry
I'm absolute attacking my own instinct for politeness, but I think I admire artists who just speak out or who are strong, so it's very hard.
Stephen Fry
The only people who are obsessed with food are anorexics and the morbidly obese. That, in erotic terms, is the Catholic church, in a nutshell.
Stephen Fry
Alternative medicine people call themselves holistic and say it's the whole approach. Well, if it's the whole approach, let it be the mind as well. Use logic, use sense, use the incredible five wits you were given by creation.
Stephen Fry
If you know someone who's depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn't a straightforward response to a bad situation depression just is, like the weather.
Stephen Fry
I certainly don't want to be formulaic. I want to be honest and authentic and everything else.
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
Lectures broke into one's day and were clearly a terrible waste of time, necessary no doubt if you were reading law or medicine or some other vocational subject, but in the case of English, the natural thing to do was talk a lot, listen to music, drink coffee and wine, read books, and go to plays, perhaps be in plays.
Stephen Fry
You've just had the most imponderable joy of watching charlieissocoollike, which makes you, like, cool.
Stephen Fry
Like vichyssoise, revenge is a dish best served cold.
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
Life, that can shower you with so much splendour, is unremittingly cruel to those who have given up.
Stephen Fry
Personally, I'd never seen a graphic novel. I knew they existed because friends of mine like Jonathan Ross collect them and some very literate and intelligent people really rate the graphic novel as a form.
Stephen Fry
Wine can be a better teacher than ink, and banter is often better than books
Stephen Fry
If I were to believe in a god l would believe in gods. I think monotheism is the really ghastly thing. That is the absolutely staggering to me misapprehension.
Stephen Fry
Stop wanting wealth and fame and start wanting instead to do something well about which you are passionate
Stephen Fry
