More quotes by Stephen Fry
Philosophy is an odd thing... There is no particular Socratic or Dimechian or Kantian way to live your life. They don't offer ethical codes and standards by which to live your life.
Stephen Fry
Life, that can shower you with so much splendour, is unremittingly cruel to those who have given up.
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
I went to Cambridge and thought I would stay there. I thought I would quietly grow tweed in a corner somewhere and become a Don or something.
Stephen Fry
Having been an actor and a writer for so long - 20 years or so - I felt that it would be daft to go to one's grave without having directed. It's a natural extension of writing and acting, and so I knew it would happen one day.
Stephen Fry
I certainly don't want to be formulaic. I want to be honest and authentic and everything else.
Stephen Fry
But an Adrian also knew that an Adrian's lies were real: they were lived and felt and acted out as thoroughly as another man's truths - if other men had truths - and he believed it possible that this last lie might see him through to the grave.
Stephen Fry
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
My father was all brain and little heart.
Stephen Fry
Families where there is not much laughter I think are signs of some sort of dysfunctionality or sickness.
Stephen Fry
Just as it is the love of money that is the root of all evil, it is the belief in shamefulness that is the root of all misery.
Stephen Fry
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.
Stephen Fry
An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them.
Stephen Fry
If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people in the world?
Stephen Fry
You can't just say there is a god because the world is beautiful. You have to account for bone cancer in children
Stephen Fry
You can act in five, six, or seven films in the time it takes to direct one film.
Stephen Fry
A month's salary, deep regret, the telephone number of some foul rehab clinic and my lance was free.
Stephen Fry
It only takes a room of Americans for the English and Australians to realise how much we have in common.
Stephen Fry
Self-consciousness, that's what it is. Always my abiding vice. I keep seeing myself. Me watching myself watching others watch me. How do you lose that? What's the trick?
Stephen Fry
Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.
Stephen Fry
