More quotes by Tom Stoppard
I really love being in postproduction. First of all, it's all quite self-interested: You can protect things.
Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz: I don't believe in it anyway. Guildenstern: What? Rosencrantz: England. Guildenstern: Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then?
Tom Stoppard
Maturity is a high price to pay for growing up.
Tom Stoppard
I'm attracted to the past.
Tom Stoppard
All mystical experience is coincidence and vice versa, of course.
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
My life feels, week to week, incomplete to the level of being pointless if I am not in preparation for the next play or, ideally, into it.
Tom Stoppard
Save the gerund and screw the whale.
Tom Stoppard
Good things, when short, are twice as good.
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
Junk journalism is the evidence of a society that has got at least one thing right, that there should be nobody with the power to dictate where responsible journalism begins.
Tom Stoppard
Player: Relax. Respond. That's what people do. You can't go through life question your sitution at every turn.
Tom Stoppard
I like plays where people talk a lot. Conversation is sustained. Argument is sustained.
Tom Stoppard
Normally, even if you're on the set for 12 hours, there may be only a moment or two when you are actually useful.
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
One bulls-eye and you're rich and famous. The rich get more famous and the famous get rich. You're the talk of the town....The sense of so much depending on success is very hard to ignore, perhaps impossible. It leads to disproportionate anxiety and disproportionate relief or disappointment.
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
Since we cannot hope for order, let us withdraw with style from the chaos.
Tom Stoppard
It's where we're nearest to our humanness. Useless knowledge for its own sake. Useful knowledge is good, too, but it's for the faint-hearted, an elaboration of the real thing, which is only to shine some light, it doesn't matter where on what, it's the light itself, against the darkness, it's what's left of God's purpose when you take away God.
