All STEPHEN FRY Quotes about “Language”

“I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.”
“There is no right language or wrong language any more than there are right or wrong clothes.”
“I have written it before and am not ashamed to write it again. Without Wodehouse I am not sure that I would be a tenth of what I am today -- whatever that may be. In my teenage years, his writings awoke me to the possibilities of language. His rhythms, tropes, tricks and mannerisms are deep within me. But more than that, he taught me something about good nature. It is enough to be benign, to be gentle, to be funny, to be kind.”
“We gave you a perfectly good language and you f***ed up.”
“I am aware of the technical distinction between â€˜lessâ€™ and â€˜fewerâ€™, and between â€˜uninterestedâ€™ and â€˜disinterestedâ€™ and â€˜inferâ€™ and â€˜implyâ€™, but none of these are of importance to me. â€˜None of these are of importance,â€™ I wrote there, youâ€™ll notice â€“ the old pedantic me would have insisted on â€œnone of them is of importanceâ€. Well Iâ€™m glad to say Iâ€™ve outgrown that silly approach to language”
