This is the point. One technology doesn't replace another, it complements. Books are no more threatened by Kindle than stairs by elevators.

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.

If you have been, I'm glad you've stopped.
Stephen Fry

If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people in the world?
Stephen Fry

I certainly don't want to be formulaic. I want to be honest and authentic and everything else.
Stephen Fry

If I had a large amount of money I should certainly found a hospital for those whose grip upon the world is so tenuous that they can be severely offended by words and phrases and yet remain all unoffended by the injustice, violence and oppression that howls daily about our ears.

Money no longer has any meaning. Civilization is coming to an end. If not the destruction of the world, it's an endless stalemate.

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
Image
...as absurd and dishonest as claiming that the trouble with computer games is that they stop people watching television.
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.

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.

The people I know who swear the most tend to have the widest vocabularies.

How can one not be fond of something that the Daily Mail despises?
Stephen Fry

Life, that can shower you with so much splendour, is unremittingly cruel to those who have given up.

All the big words -virtue, justice, truth, ...- are dwarfed by the greatness of kindness

There are some things I don't like, about which I think, well, that's me. But coriander is a giant hoax perpetrated by a perverted society.
