More quotes by 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 scenes - often quite long scenes - mainly because I still get seduced into writing six lines where one and a half will do.
Tom Stoppard
Personally I am in favour of education but a university is not the place for it.
Tom Stoppard
Atheism is a crutch for those who cannot bear the reality of God.
Tom Stoppard
I've never written an original piece for film all the original things I've done are for the stage.
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
We must be born with an intuition of mortality.
Tom Stoppard
If you were handed power on a plate you'd be left fighting over a plate.
Tom Stoppard
When I think of how things could have turned out, I feel as if I've dodged, not just bullets, but 6mm shells.
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
Uncertainty is the normal state.
Tom Stoppard

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
The tragedy of journalism is that these are people doing their best work.
Tom Stoppard
It is not hard to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall it's a painting, and if you can walk around it it's a sculpture.
Tom Stoppard
Between just desserts and tragic irony we are given quite a lot of scope for our particular talent. Generally speaking, things have gone about as far as they can possibly go when things have got about as bad as they reasonably get.
Tom Stoppard
In the theater there is often a tension, almost a contradiction, between the way real people would think and behave, and a kind of imposed dramaticness.
Tom Stoppard
He says his aim is poetry. One does not aim at poetry with pistols. At poets, perhaps.
Tom Stoppard
It is a defect of God's humor that he directs our hearts everywhere but to those who have a right to them.
Tom Stoppard
I like plays where people talk a lot. Conversation is sustained. Argument is sustained.
Tom Stoppard
