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.

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
All we have to do is listen. The Good Lord gave us two ears and only one mouth, my dear white-headed mother used to say.
Stephen Fry
There is no right language or wrong language any more than there are right or wrong clothes.
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
The performance of buggery is no more inevitable a part of homosexuality than an orange syllabub is an inevitable part of a dinner: some may clamour for it and instantly demand a second helping, some are not interested, some decide they will try it once and then instantly vomit.
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 dare you? How dare you create a world in which there is such misery that is not our fault? It's not right, it's utterly, utterly evil. Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid god who creates a world that is so full of injustice and pain?
Stephen Fry
It may be that there is an afterlife and I'll look incredibly stupid, but at least I will have had a crammed pre afterlife, a crammed life, so to me the most important thing is you know as Kipling put it. [...] To fill every unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run.
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
In a dung heap, even a plastic bead can gleam like a sapphire.
Stephen Fry
I've never had any illusions about being a lead actor in films, because lead actors have to be of a certain kind. Apart from the beauty of looks and figure, which I cannot claim to have, there's just a particular kind of ordinary-Joe quality that a film star needs to have.
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
Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive.
Stephen Fry
Mankind can live free in a society hemmed in by laws, but we have yet to find a historical example of mankind living free in lawless anarchy.
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
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
It is easy to forget that the most important aspect of comedy, after all, its great saving grace, is its ambiguity. You can simultaneously laugh at a situation, and take it seriously.
Stephen Fry
Philosophy is an odd thing. When we use the word in everyday speech, you know, you sometimes hear it hilariously.
Stephen Fry
If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people in the world?
Stephen Fry
My father was all brain and little heart.
Stephen Fry
