Stephen Fry Quotes
I suppose the thing I most would have liked to have known or been reassured about is that in the world, what counts more than talent, what counts more than energy or concentration or commitment, or anything else - is kindness.

And all the big words: virtue, justice, truth - are dwarfed by the greatness of kindness.
