More quotes by Tom Stoppard
To be frank: the translations that often sound bad in the mouths of the actors, these have often been done by linguists.
Tom Stoppard
If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life.
Tom Stoppard
It's where we're nearest to our humanness. Useless knowledge for its own sake. Useful knowledge is good, too, but it's for the faint-hearted, an elaboration of the real thing, which is only to shine some light, it doesn't matter where on what, it's the light itself, against the darkness, it's what's left of God's purpose when you take away God.
Tom Stoppard
My mind gets into a verbal mode.
Tom Stoppard
A great production of a black comedy is better than a mediocre production of a comedy of errors.
Tom Stoppard
I like plays where people talk a lot. Conversation is sustained. Argument is sustained.
Tom Stoppard
Left to themselves people are noble, generous, uncorrupted, they'd create a completely new kind of society if only people weren't so blind, stupid and selfish.
Tom Stoppard
Good things, when short, are twice as good.
Tom Stoppard
He says his aim is poetry. One does not aim at poetry with pistols. At poets, perhaps.
Tom Stoppard
There is no one so radical as a man-servant whose freedom of the champagne bin has been interfered with.
Tom Stoppard
The media. It sounds like a convention of spiritualists.
Tom Stoppard
Well I believe in the desirability of an optimal society.
Tom Stoppard
It is not hard to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall it's a painting, and if you can walk around it it's a sculpture.
Tom Stoppard
The ordinary-sized stuff which is our lives, the things people write poetry about—clouds—daffodils—waterfalls—what happens in a cup of coffee when the cream goes in—these things are full of mystery, as mysterious to us as the heavens were to the Greeks.
Tom Stoppard
It's not the voting that's democracy it's the counting.
Tom Stoppard
I think that the present is worth attention, one shouldn't sacrifice it to future conceptions of, of this future or that future.
Tom Stoppard
You always end up with too much, so it's good to be part of the conversation about not just what you can omit, but how you are going to do the grammar of the omission, how you make things continue to work when there's something missing. It's your last chance to rewrite.
Tom Stoppard
If you took away everything in the world that had to be invented, there'd be nothing left except a lot of people getting rained on.
Tom Stoppard
What are a friend's books for if not to be borrowed?
Tom Stoppard
One of the nice things about the world of filmmaking is that you make friends in the business.
Tom Stoppard
