I've never written an original piece for film all the original things I've done are for the stage.
Tom Stoppard
We must be born with an intuition of mortality.
Tom Stoppard
We shed as we pick up, like travellers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. but there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it.
Tom Stoppard
All mystical experience is coincidence and vice versa, of course.
Tom Stoppard
You can't treat royalty like people with normal perverted desires.
Tom Stoppard
Give us this day our daily mask.
Tom Stoppard
The results of the divorce between truth and human beings can be most graphically observed in politics.
Tom Stoppard
I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you might nudge the world a little or make a poem that children will speak for you when you are dead.
Tom Stoppard
It is better to be quotable than to be honest.
Tom Stoppard
I think that the present is worth attention, one shouldn't sacrifice it to future conceptions of, of this future or that future.
Tom Stoppard
The truth is always a compound of two half- truths, and you never reach it, because there is always something more to say.
Tom Stoppard
I'm attracted to the past.
Tom Stoppard
In England the rich own the poor and the men own the women.
Tom Stoppard
If you want to change something by Tuesday, theater is no good. Journalism is what does that. But, if you want to just alter the chemistry of the moral matrix, then theater has a longer half-life.
Tom Stoppard
It takes character to withstand the rigours of indolence.
Tom Stoppard
In January 1962, when I was the author of one and a half unperformed plays, I attended a student production of 'The Birthday Party' at the Victoria Rooms in Bristol. Just before it began, I realised that Harold Pinter was sitting in front of me.
Tom Stoppard
A great production of a black comedy is better than a mediocre production of a comedy of errors.
Tom Stoppard
Because children grow up, we think a child's purpose is to grow up. But a child's purpose is to be a child. Nature doesn't disdain what lives only for a day. It pours the whole of itself into the each moment. We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last.
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
If enough things that are untrue are said about you, no one will know what really is true.
Tom Stoppard
