Quote by Stephen Fry

Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once. It is an insult to creation not to experience it fully. Temperance is wickedness.

Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once.

Summary

This quote encourages us to embrace and explore the abundance of experiences life has to offer. It suggests that it is a disservice to the brilliance of creation if we do not fully immerse ourselves in the different fruits, or opportunities and experiences, available to us. The quote challenges the idea of temperance, which implies moderation or restraint, attributing it to wickedness, perhaps reminding us not to hold back or deny ourselves the richness of life's offerings.
