59345. In so many ways, it feels the same now when I play as the very first time I picked up the instrument. There’s always this sound out there that’s just a little bit beyond my reach and I’m trying to get there and that just sort of keeps me going. – Bill Frisell

59692. No, I love the idea that someone changes. As an actor it’s always the thing that you look for. He is someone who starts off bright, cheerful and confident and then has everything taken away from him. It’s a wonderful journey to take. – Stephen Fry
59693. Oh, it takes a lot for me to walk out of a film. – Stephen Fry

59707. As someone who worked hard for a Labour victory in the 90s, do I regret it? Not really. It was bound to happen. And it’ll happen with the next government, and the one after it. Because all governments serve us. They serve the filth. – Stephen Fry
59708. Christmas to a child is the first terrible proof that to travel hopefully is better than to arrive. – Stephen Fry
59709. 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

59712. I don’t watch television, I think it destroys the art of talking about oneself. – Stephen Fry
59713. I have pushed the boat out as far as I should in terms of taking on too many things. I’m getting older and I just could not take it any more. I am now monitoring myself very closely and I’m just trying not to get into that sort of state again. – Stephen Fry
59714. I like to think of myself at home in the armchair, writing, smoking and occasionally wandering down the shop. – Stephen Fry

59718. I think the fact that I’m so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn’t be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman – I’ll kiss a frog if you like. – Stephen Fry
59719. I think we have all experienced passion that is not in any sense reasonable. – Stephen Fry
59720. 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. – Stephen Fry

59725. The most technologically efficient machine that man has ever invented is the book. – Northrop Frye
59726. The metaphor of the king as the shepherd of his people goes back to ancient Egypt. Perhaps the use of this particular convention is due to the fact that, being stupid, affectionate, gregarious, and easily stampeded, the societies formed by sheep are most like human ones. – Northrop Frye
59727. Just as a new scientific discovery manifests something that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words. – Northrop Frye
59728. It is of the essence of imaginative culture that it transcends the limits both of the naturally possible and of the morally acceptable. – Northrop Frye
59729. In our day the conventional element in literature is elaborately disguised by a law of copyright pretending that every work of art is an invention distinctive enough to be patented. – Northrop Frye
59730. Americans like to make money; Canadians like to audit it. I know no other country where accountants have a higher social and moral status. – Northrop Frye

59754. At that time I had complete confidence in Russian policy and I believed that the Western Allies deliberately allowed Russia and Germany to fight each other to the death. – Klaus Fuchs

59777. I submit to you, Mr. President of Congress, my formal resignation as president of the republic. – Alberto Fujimori

59829. I’m sure that President Johnson would never have pursued the war in Vietnam if he’d ever had a Fulbright to Japan, or say Bangkok, or had any feeling for what these people are like and why they acted the way they did. He was completely ignorant. – J. William Fulbright
59830. In our excessive involvement in the affairs of other countries, we are not only living off our assets and denying our own people the proper enjoyment of their resources; we are also denying the world the example of a free society enjoying its freedom to the fullest. – J. William Fulbright
