More quotes by Tom Stoppard
I don't act, I don't direct, I don't design.
Tom Stoppard
A great production of a black comedy is better than a mediocre production of a comedy of errors.
Tom Stoppard
The tragedy of journalism is that these are people doing their best work.
Tom Stoppard
If enough things that are untrue are said about you, no one will know what really is true.
Tom Stoppard
From principles is derived probability, but truth or certainty is obtained only from facts.
Tom Stoppard
It is better to be quotable than to be honest.
Tom Stoppard
Good things, when short, are twice as good.
Tom Stoppard
The names for things don't come first. Words stagger after, hopelessly trying to become the sensation.
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
He says his aim is poetry. One does not aim at poetry with pistols. At poets, perhaps.
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
I write fiction because it's a way of making statements I can disown.
Tom Stoppard
Imagination without skill gives us contemporary art.
Tom Stoppard
Your opinions are your symptoms.
Tom Stoppard
I've seldom minded other people's opinions, but the other side of that coin is that I've seldom been interested by them, um their opinions about me I mean.
Tom Stoppard
...reality, the name we give to the common experience.
Tom Stoppard
Suicide is no more than a trick played on the calendar.
Tom Stoppard
I don't write at the library, because I smoke when I work or would like the possibility of a smoke. Also, I need to be at my own desk.
Tom Stoppard
Uncertainty is the normal state.
Tom Stoppard
I know the British press is very attached to the lobby system. It lets the journalists and the politicians feel proud of their traditional freedoms while giving the reader as much of the truth as they think is good for him.
Tom Stoppard
