Stephen Fry Quotes: 13
I'd probably want to teach at university, because children would drive me insane. I suspect it would be English literature, Shakespeare and so forth. I've always been deeply, deeply in love with that kind of thing.
Books are no more threatened by Kindle than stairs by elevators.
Moab Is My WashpotIt's not all bad. Heightened self-consciousness, apartness, an inability to join in, physical shame and self-loathing—they are not all bad. Those devils have been my angels. Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made and unmade me.
An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them.
It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."[I saw hate in a graveyard -- Stephen Fry, The Guardian, 5 June 2005]
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and you will be happy.
I am a lover of truth, a worshiper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.
Moab Is My WashpotNo adolescent ever wants to be understood, which is why they complain about being misunderstood all the time.
Moab Is My WashpotIt is the useless things that make life worth living and that make life dangerous too: wine, love, art, beauty. Without them life is safe, but not worth bothering with.
Moab Is My WashpotPeople who can change and change again are so much more reliable and happier than those who can’t
The Fry ChroniclesWine can be a better teacher than ink, and banter is often better than books
I'm fat because I'm greedy, and if my mind is fat it's because I'm curious.
...Catholic versus Protestant, essentially. It's that kind of fight. ... And it goes on to this day. Will we never learn? Who knows? Religion. Shit it.
