Choking with dry tears and raging, raging, raging at the absolute indifference of nature and the world to the death of love, the death of hope and the death of beauty, i remember sitting on the end of my bed, collecting these pills and capsules together and wondering why, why when i felt i had so much to offer, so much love, such outpourings of love and energy to spend on the world, i was incapable of being offered love, giving it or summoning the energy with which i knew i could transform myself and everything around me.

More From Stephen Fry

Sometimes, though, i feel that pushing books is a whole lot like pushing medicine. think of books as pills. i have pills that cure ignorance and pills that cure boredom. i have pills to elevate moods and pills to open people's eyes to the awful truth: uppers and downers as they were. i sell pills to help people find themselves and pills to help them lose themselves when they require escape from the pressures and anxieties of life in a complex society.

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.

If you spend your own money on yourself, you care how much you spend and how well you spend it. if you spend your own money on someone else, you care how much you spend, but you don't care how well it is spent. if you spend someone else's money on yourself, you don't care how much you spend, but you do care how well it is spent. and finally, if you spend someone else's money on someone else, you don't care how much you spend, and you don't care how well it is spent. that is government.

There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutionsto cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.

I dread the loss of her i've never touched love keeps me a slave in a cage of tears i gnaw my tongue with which to her i can never speak i miss a woman who was never born i kiss a woman across the years that say we shall never meet everything passes everything perishes everything palls my thought walks away with a killing smile leaving discordant anxiety which roars in my soul no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope no hope

In hamburg the waiters always had preludin - and various other pills, but i remember preludin because it was such a big trip - and they were all taking these pills to keep themselves awake, to work these incredible hours in this all-night place. and so the waiters, when they'd see the musicians falling over with tiredness or with drink, they'd give you the pill. you'd take the pill, you'd be talking, you'd sober up, you could work almost endlessly - until the pill wore off, then you'd have to have another.

Similar Quotes
While i generally find that great myths are great precisely because they represent and embody great universal truths, the myth of romantic love is a dreadful lie. perhaps it is a necessary lie in that it ensures the survival of the falling-in-love experience that traps us into marriage. but as a psychiatrist i weep in my heart almost daily for the ghastly confusion and suffering that this myth fosters. millions of people waste vast amounts of energy desperately and futilely attempting to make the reality of their lives conform to the unreality of the myth.

It's no go my honey love, it's no go my poppet;work your hands from day to day, the winds will blow the profit.the glass is falling hour by hour, the glass will fall for ever,but if you break the bloody glass you won't hold up the weather.

Go to the adolescent who are smothered in family-- oh how hideous it is to see three generations of one house gathered together! it is like an old tree with shoots, and with some branches rotted and falling.
