Stephen Fry Quotes About Emotions

Quotes about: Emotions

  Stephen Fry

  Thinking, Self, Hatred

• To be human and to be adult means constantly to be in the grip of opposing emotions, to have daily to reconcile apparently conflicting tensions. I want this, but need that. I cherish this, but I adore its opposite too.

  Stephen Fry

  Mean, Opposites, Adults
