More quotes by 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
Lectures broke into one's day and were clearly a terrible waste of time, necessary no doubt if you were reading law or medicine or some other vocational subject, but in the case of English, the natural thing to do was talk a lot, listen to music, drink coffee and wine, read books, and go to plays, perhaps be in plays.
Stephen Fry
The English language is like London: proudly barbaric yet deeply civilised, too, common yet royal, vulgar yet processional, sacred yet profane.
Stephen Fry
Hey-ho, it's raining inside: it isn't my fault and there's nothing I can do about it, but sit it out. But the sun may well come out tomorrow and when it does, I shall take full advantage.
Stephen Fry
Those who rule the world get so little opportunity to run about and laugh and play in it.
Stephen Fry
Like vichyssoise, revenge is a dish best served cold.
Stephen Fry
It is a little theory of mine that has much exercised my mind lately, that most of the problems of this silly and delightful world derive from our apologising for those things which we ought not to apologise for, and failing to apologise for those things for which apology is necessary.
Stephen Fry
Many people would no more think of entering journalism than the sewage business - which at least does us all some good.
Stephen Fry
I may have looked happy but inside I was hopelessly depressed.
Stephen Fry
Nature admits no hierarchy of beauty or usefulness or importance.
Stephen Fry
Sex without smiling is as sickly and as base as vodka and tonic without ice.
Stephen Fry
Glory never arrives through the front door. She sneaks in uninvited round the back or through an upstairs window while you are sleeping.
Stephen Fry
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.
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
I don't believe there is a God. If I were to believe in a god, l would believe in gods.
Stephen Fry
You think homosexuality is disgusting? Then, it follows as the night the day, that you find sex disgusting, for there is nothing done between two men or two women that is, by any objective standard, different from that which is done between a man and a woman.
Stephen Fry
In a dung heap, even a plastic bead can gleam like a sapphire.
Stephen Fry
One of the reasons I love the online world is that although that exists in abundance you can choose absolutely which part of the online world you want to live in. You can make your own kingdom in that sense.
Stephen Fry
Everything had been based on a kind of certainty, a sense of man at the center of things, a sense of order and hierarchy. And suddenly, almost simultaneously, extraordinary discoveries are made.
Stephen Fry
If there were a God he would want us to be better spirited than to take his word for everything.
Stephen Fry
