More quotes by Stephen Fry
...as absurd and dishonest as claiming that the trouble with computer games is that they stop people watching television.
Stephen Fry
It's rather splendid to think of all those great men and women who appear to have presented symptoms that allow us to describe them as bipolar. Whether it's Hemingway, Van Gogh... Robert Schumann has been mentioned... Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath... some of them with rather grim ends.
Stephen Fry
I'm absolute attacking my own instinct for politeness, but I think I admire artists who just speak out or who are strong, so it's very hard.
Stephen Fry
There is simply no limit to the tyrannical snobbery that otherwise decent people can descend into when it comes to music.
Stephen Fry
Knowing what I now know I would never have done anything so fatuous but then I never would have known what I know now had I not.
Stephen Fry
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and you will be happy.
Stephen Fry
I have to mime at parties when everyone sings Happy Birthday... Mime or mumble and rumble and growl and grunt so deep that only moles, manta rays and mushrooms can hear me.
Stephen Fry
There is not any way that you can just choose the nice bits and say that means there is a God and ignore the true fact of what nature is.
Stephen Fry
Perhaps the greatest definition I think of character and quality is people who when they're truly great rather than making you feel that tall they make you feel that tall, that they're greatness as it were improves you.
Stephen Fry
Wine can be a better teacher than ink, and banter is often better than books
Stephen Fry
The stranger might laugh and seem to enjoy the writing, but you hug to yourself the thought that they didn't quite understand its force and quality the way you do - just as your friends (thank heavens) don't also fall in love with the person you are going on and on about to them.
Stephen Fry
I suppose that there is no point wasting time being lazy, though of course indolence in a divine way, actually has its advantages.
Stephen Fry
The part of [Oscar] Wilde was exceptionally important to me the man, his achievements, his wisdom, but his downfall, his disgrace and the tragic and bitter end to it have always fascinated, appalled and attracted me since childhood. It was he who first in some measure vindicated my sexuality.
Stephen Fry
I like people who are as unlike me as possible, which is not an expression of self disgust or self hatred, but it's just that you know you obviously particularly admire things that you recognize yourself as not having.
Stephen Fry
No adolescent ever wants to be understood, which is why they complain about being misunderstood all the time.
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
Life, that can shower you with so much splendour, is unremittingly cruel to those who have given up.
Stephen Fry
I believe that poetry is a primal impulse within us all.
Stephen Fry
It was behaviour that I thought not far from racism, sexism or any other kind of prejudice or snobbery. 'Because you are not cute, I do not want to know you' was, to me, hardly different from suggesting 'because you are gay, I dislike you
Stephen Fry
Atheism comes into rather a bad press and I suppose I'd rather describe myself as a humanist... I don't believe in God. I don't believe there is a God.
Stephen Fry
