No adolescent ever wants to be understood, which is why they complain about being misunderstood all the time.

I believe in kindness and niceness and lots of spiritual things, but the real intellectual rigor and quest of logic is something that I'm afraid takes incredibly hard work and we live in an age in which hard work is if not actively deprecated or denigrated it is run away from or ignored.

Image
I suppose that there is no point wasting time being lazy, though of course indolence in a divine way, actually has its advantages.

My first meeting with you only confirmed what I first suspected. You are a fraud, a charlatan and a shyster. My favourite kind of person, in fact.

All the big words -virtue, justice, truth, ...- are dwarfed by the greatness of kindness
Stephen Fry
Image
The stranger might laugh and seem to enjoy the writing, but you hug to yourself the thought that they didn't quite understand its force and quality the way you do - just as your friends (thank heavens) don't also fall in love with the person you are going on and on about to them.

I'm afraid I don't believe there is such a thing as blasphemy, just outrage from those insecure in their own faith.

When you've seen a nude infant doing a backward somersault you know why clothing exists.

Philosophy is an odd thing. When we use the word in everyday speech, you know, you sometimes hear it hilariously.

Literary studies were no more than a series of autopsies performed by heartless technicians. Worse than autopsies: biopsies. Vivisection. Even movies, which I love more than anything, more than life itself, they even do it with movies these days.

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

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.
