Tom Stoppard
I write fiction because it's a way of making statements I can disown.
Tom Stoppard
Public postures have the configuration of private derangement.
Tom Stoppard
Hell is very likely to be modernization infinitely extended.
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
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 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
