More quotes by Christopher Fry

Comedy is an escape, not from the truth but from despair; a narrow escape into faith.

Where in this small-talking world can I find
A longitude with no platitude?

The Lady's Not for Burning (1949)

The moon is nothing
But a circumambulating aphrodisiac
Divinely subsidized to provoke the world
Into a rising birth-rate.

The Lady's Not for Burning (1949)

I hear
A gay modulating anguish, rather like music.

The Lady's Not for Burning (1949)

The Great Bear is looking so geometrical
One would think that something or other could be proved.
