If I were to believe in a god l would believe in gods. I think monotheism is the really ghastly thing. That is the absolutely staggering to me misapprehension.
Stephen Fry
Families where there is not much laughter I think are signs of some sort of dysfunctionality or sickness.
Stephen Fry
You've just had the most imponderable joy of watching charlieissocoollike, which makes you, like, cool.
Stephen Fry
You are who you are when nobody's watching.
Stephen Fry
Music takes me to places of illimitable sensual and insensate joy, accessing points of ecstasy that no angelic lover could ever locate, or plunging me into gibbering weeping hells of pain that no torturer could ever devise.
Stephen Fry
There's nothing worse than the British in one of their fits of morality.
Stephen Fry
Things are always worse in the steady watches of the night.
Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry

Stephen Fry
Naturally I've known girlies form an attachment to the younger male before now, but in the tennis score of the bedroom most girls in my experience would rather Love Thirty or Love Forty than Love Fifteen. Men, of course, are a whole other issue they start at Love All and stay there until they're dragged from the court
Stephen Fry

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
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
You can't reason yourself back into cheerfulness any more than you can reason yourself into an extra six inches in height.
Stephen Fry
I almost once wanted to publish a self help book saying, 'How To Be Happy, by Stephen Fry: Guaranteed Success'. And people buy this huge book and it's all blank pages, and the first page would just say, 'Stop feeling sorry for yourself--and you will be happy.'
Stephen Fry
Nudity is a deep worry if you have a body like a bin bag full of yoghurt, which I have.
Stephen Fry
You'll often hear the phrase science doesn't know everything. Well, of course it doesn't know everything. But just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean that it knows nothing.
Stephen Fry
You don't need a Harvard MBA to know that the bedroom and the boardroom are just two sides of the same ballgame.
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
