More quotes by Tom Stoppard
A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier.
Tom Stoppard
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
For all the compasses in the world, there's only one direction, and time is its only measure.
Tom Stoppard
I'm the kind of person who embarks on an endless leapfrog down the great moral issues. I put a position, rebut it, refute the rebuttal and rebut the refutation. Endlessly.
Tom Stoppard
It's the wanting to know that makes us matter.
Tom Stoppard
A writer doesn't really have much of a function on a movie set.
Tom Stoppard
All mystical experience is coincidence and vice versa, of course.
Tom Stoppard
The fact is that people are attracted to new work and by new work.
Tom Stoppard
Personally I am in favour of education but a university is not the place for it.
Tom Stoppard
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
It is better to be quotable than to be honest.
Tom Stoppard
The House of Lords, an illusion to which I have never been able to subscribe - responsibility without power, the prerogative of the eunuch throughout the ages.
Tom Stoppard
A foreign correspondent is someone who lives in foreign parts and corresponds, usually in the form of essays containing no new facts. Otherwise he's someone who flies around from hotel to hotel and thinks that the most interesting thing about any story is the fact that he has arrived to cover it.
Tom Stoppard
Junk journalism is the evidence of a society that has got at least one thing right, that there should be nobody with the power to dictate where responsible journalism begins.
Tom Stoppard
Theatre is a series of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
Tom Stoppard
If rationality were the criterion for things being allowed to exist, the world would be one gigantic field of soya beans!
Tom Stoppard
You're familiar with the tragedies of antiquity, are you? The great homicidal classics?
Tom Stoppard
What are a friend's books for if not to be borrowed?
Tom Stoppard
It seems pointless to be quoted if one isn't going to be quotable ... it's better to be quotable than honest.
Tom Stoppard
I never had any frustration about writing uncredited. I always felt that the satisfaction of doing it was in the doing of it, really, and getting recognised by the small number of people that know what you did.
Tom Stoppard
