More quotes by Stephen Fry
I believe that poetry is a primal impulse within us all.
Stephen Fry
Hell, I am young. I am free. My teeth are clean. The sun shines. To hell with everything else
Stephen Fry
I now accept that it is looking increasingly likely that Tiger Woods is, in fact, straight.
Stephen Fry
If you think you're going to have an eternity in which you can talk to Mozart and Chopin and Schopenhauer on a cloud and learn stuff and you know really get to grips with knowledge and understanding and so you won't bother now, I think it's a terrible, a terrible mistake.
Stephen Fry
Cynical is the name we give those we fear may be laughing at us.
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
Living with bipolar, schizophrenia or any other mental condition takes a recognition that one has a chronic condition that needs managing. The management can be through pharmaceutical intervention, talk therapy, mindfulness programmes, diet and exercise changes, all kinds of things.
Stephen Fry
To be human and to be adult means constantly to be in the grip of opposing emotions, to have daily to reconcile apparently conflicting tensions. I want this, but need that. I cherish this, but I adore its opposite too.
Stephen Fry
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.
Stephen Fry
It is a cliche that most cliches are true, but then like most cliches, that cliche is untrue.
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
A month's salary, deep regret, the telephone number of some foul rehab clinic and my lance was free.
Stephen Fry
That one can love another of the same gender, that is what the homophobe really cannot stand.
Stephen Fry
Generally, we admire the thing we are not.
Stephen Fry
People who can change and change again are so much more reliable and happier than those who can’t
Stephen Fry
I have always been an impassioned advocate for the works of Shakespeare. I regard him as one of the most complete miracles of his or any other age.
Stephen Fry
It was as if he grew his hair long and smoked cigarettes because he liked to, not because he liked being seen to. This was dangerously subversive.
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
An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them.
Stephen Fry
And of course you are mad, if by a madman we mean a mind that questions and rejects every civilized norm.
Stephen Fry
