Well I believe in the desirability of an optimal society.
Tom Stoppard
Image
Art cannot be subordinate to its subject, otherwise it is not art but biography.
Tom Stoppard
Image
If rationality were the criterion for things being allowed to exist, the world would be one gigantic field of soya beans!
Tom Stoppard
Image
Theatre is a series of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
Tom Stoppard
Image
Save the gerund and screw the whale.
Tom Stoppard
Image
I like pop music. I consider rock 'n' roll to be a branch of pop music.
Tom Stoppard
Image
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
Image
The tragedy of journalism is that these are people doing their best work.
Tom Stoppard
Image
The causes we know everything about depend on causes we know very little about, which depend on causes we know absolutely nothing about.
Tom Stoppard
Image
Hell is very likely to be modernization infinitely extended.
Tom Stoppard

I like plays where people talk a lot. Conversation is sustained. Argument is sustained.
Tom Stoppard
Image
Writing a play is like smashing that [glass] ashtray, filming it in slow motion, and then running the film in reverse, so that the fragments of rubble appear to fly together. You start - or at least I start - with the rubble.
Tom Stoppard

Real data is messy. ...It's all very noisy out there. Very hard to spot the tune. Like a piano in the next room, it's playing your song, but unfortunately it's out of whack, some of the strings are missing, and the pianist is tone deaf and drunk- I mean, the noise! Impossible!
Tom Stoppard
Image
I love love. I love having a lover and being one. The insularity of passion. I love it. I love the way it blurs the distinction between everyone who isn't one's lover.
Tom Stoppard
Image
One bulls-eye and you're rich and famous. The rich get more famous and the famous get rich. You're the talk of the town....The sense of so much depending on success is very hard to ignore, perhaps impossible. It leads to disproportionate anxiety and disproportionate relief or disappointment.
Tom Stoppard
Image
We're better at predicting events at the edge of the galaxy or inside the nucleus of an atom than whether it'll rain on auntie's garden party three Sundays from now.
Tom Stoppard
Image
Rosencrantz: Shouldn't we be doing something--constructive? Guildenstern: What did you have in mind? ... A short, blunt human pyramid...?
Tom Stoppard
Image
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
Image
A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier.
Tom Stoppard

You're familiar with the tragedies of antiquity, are you? The great homicidal classics?
