More quotes by Tom Stoppard
If enough things that are untrue are said about you, no one will know what really is true.
Tom Stoppard
I write for film or, in this case, television when I haven't got a play cooking.
Tom Stoppard
We're better at predicting events at the edge of the galaxy or inside the nucleus of an atom than whether it'll rain on auntie's garden party three Sundays from now.
Tom Stoppard
I'm attracted to the past.
Tom Stoppard

Tom Stoppard
Each move is dictated by the previous one--that is the meaning of order

Tom Stoppard
The tragedy of journalism is that these are people doing their best work.
Tom Stoppard
War is capitalism with the gloves off and many who go to war know it but they go to war because they don't want to be a hero.
Tom Stoppard

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
Sometimes directors feel a script needs something, but they're not sure what it is, so they show it to a friend if the friend is a writer, he ends up kicking around with that script for a while.
Tom Stoppard
Uncertainty is the normal state.
Tom Stoppard
...Everything has to be taken on trust truth is only that what is taken to be true. It's the currency if living. There may be nothing behind it, but it doesn't make any difference so long as it is honoured. One acts on assumptions. What do you assume?
Tom Stoppard
It makes me so happy. To be at the beginning again, knowing almost nothing.... A door like this has cracked open five or six times since we got up on our hind legs. It's the best possible time of being alive, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong.
Tom Stoppard
You're familiar with the tragedies of antiquity, are you? The great homicidal classics?
Tom Stoppard
