Tom Stoppard
I would join Sisyphus in Hades and gladly push my boulder up the slope if only, each time it rolled back down, I were given a line of Aeschylus.

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
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
Theater is a recreation. It can be much more, but unless it's recreation, I don't see the point of it.
Tom Stoppard
Well I believe in the desirability of an optimal society.
Tom Stoppard
The media. It sounds like a convention of spiritualists.
Tom Stoppard
There must have been a moment, at the beginning, were we could have said -- no. But somehow we missed it.
Tom Stoppard
I burn with no causes.
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
