More From Stephen Fry

Two cliches make us laugh. a hundred cliches move us. for we sense dimly that the cliches are talking among themselves, and celebrating a reunion.
Moving Talking Two
I seem to know all the cliches, but not how to put them together in a believable way. or else these stories are terrible and grandiose precisely because all the cliches intertwine in an unrealistic way and you can't disentangle them. but when you actually live a cliche, it feels brand new, and you are unashamed.
Together Stories Way
Cliche refers to words, commonplace to ideas. cliche describes the form or the letter, commonplace the substance or spirit. to confuse them is to confuse the thought with the expression of the thought. the cliche is immediately perceivable; the commonplace very often escapes notice if decked out in original dress. there are few examples, in any literature, of new ideas expressed in original form. the most critical mind must often be content with one or the other of these pleasures, only too happy when it is not deprived of both at once, which is not too rarely the case.
Often Is Expression Ideas
The cliche of the nerdy kid who doesn't go outside and just plays games is completely untrue. and it's also true for the nerdy kid who studies comic books and turns into this genius, and it is also true for the nerdy kid who listens to every nerdy thing that led zeppelin put out. that kind of obsession in a 16-year-old is not ugly. it's beautiful.

In every election in american history both parties have their cliches. the party that has the cliches that ring true wins.

We know that there is an infinite, and we know not its nature. as we know it to be false that numbers are finite, it is therefore true that there is a numerical infinity. but we know not of what kind; it is untrue that it is even, untrue that it is odd; for the addition of a unit does not change its nature; yet it is a number, and every number is odd or even (this certainly holds of every finite number). thus we may quite well know that there is a god without knowing what he is.

If we don't change, we don't grow. if we don't grow, we are not really living.

What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. what he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.

We don't know what's causing climate change on this planet. and the idea of spending trillions and trillions of dollars to try to reduce co2 emissions is not the right course for us.
Climate Causes Climate Change
Just because you are embarrassed to admit that you're still living the consequences of bad decisions made 5, 10, 20 years ago shouldn't stop you from making good decisions now. if you let pride stop you, you will hate life 5, 10, and 20 years from now for the same reasons.
