  The way he uses the language is exquisite. Always a pleasure to listen to him speak.

  I mostly amazed by the fact that Stephen Fry does not use notes or teleprompter during his speech. What an amazing orator.

  I love Stephen Fry. When he isn&apos;t being one of the funniest men in the world he is one of the smartest, most vulnerable and kind men in the world.

  Imagine a world where those with power had this level of intelligence, curiosity, articulation, kindness, insight, thoughtfulness and self awareness. ❤

  Brilliant! “If Jesus were to come back and see what was being done in his name, he would never stop throwing up.”

  My father (born in 1929) in his small town in Ireland, that the priest would read out loud every Sunday, how much money each family gave, trying to shame these poor people out of what little they had. So he was disillusioned very early on and because he had a strong dad, didn’t care and wouldn’t be shamed

  That is the most animated I have ever seen him. His voice was wavering with emotion because he was speaking from the depths of his emotions. I am deeply impressed. My view of him has changed from indifference to admiration.

  If I could articulate my ideas as clearly as Stephen, I would be so happy. There is absolutely no friction in the pathways between his highly educated mind &amp; his tongue. Brilliant ideas spoken brilliantly.

  I&apos;m so grateful we still have Stephen Fry, and I remember Christopher Hitchens, who is sorely missed, with the same gratitude.
