More quotes by 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
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.
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
A book is judged, not by its reference to life, but by its reference to other books.
Stephen Fry
I think faith in each other is much harder than faith in God...
Stephen Fry
Between funny and witty Falls the shadow
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
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
...as absurd and dishonest as claiming that the trouble with computer games is that they stop people watching television.
Stephen Fry
Those who rule the world get so little opportunity to run about and laugh and play in it.
Stephen Fry
I shouldn't be saying this, high treason really, but I sometimes wonder if Americans aren't fooled by our accent into detecting a brilliance that may not really be there.
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
Money no longer has any meaning. Civilization is coming to an end. If not the destruction of the world, it's an endless stalemate.
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
Sometimes there just isn't enough vomit in the world.
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
In a dung heap, even a plastic bead can gleam like a sapphire.
Stephen Fry
Well, isn't it splendid & rather toffee?
Stephen Fry
I'm fat because I'm greedy, and if my mind is fat it's because I'm curious.
Stephen Fry
I do think it's important not to be absolutely sure, so sure that you can't reinvent yourself in some way, or at least rediscover the truth of why you think what you think, and not just take it as an assumption.
Stephen Fry
