Stephen Fry


Stephen Fry
"If I had a large amount of money I should certainly found a hospital for those whose grip upon the world is so tenuous that they can be severely offended by words and phrases and yet remain all unoffended by the injustice, violence and oppression that howls daily about our ears."
Stephen Fry (Paperweight)

"An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them."
Stephen Fry


Francis Bacon
"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested: that is, some books are to be read only in parts, others to be read, but not curiously, and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. "
Francis Bacon
