That one can love another of the same gender, that is what the homophobe really cannot stand.

Money is to Everything as an Aeroplane is to Australia. The aeroplane isn't Australia, but it remains the only practical way we know of reaching it. So perhaps, metonymically, the aeroplane is Australia after all.

A month's salary, deep regret, the telephone number of some foul rehab clinic and my lance was free.
Stephen Fry
Image
This is the point. One technology doesn't replace another, it complements. Books are no more threatened by Kindle than stairs by elevators.

Love in all eight tones and all five semitones of the word's full octave.
Stephen Fry
Image
I think I'm most nervous about revealing how nervous I have always been. People think me calm, confident, poised. Inside I'm a jelly.
