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
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
Rewriting isn't just about dialogue, it's the order of the scenes, how you finish a scene, how you get into a scene. All these final decisions are best made when you're there, watching. It's really enjoyable, but you've got to be there at the director's invitation. You can't just barge in and say, I'm the writer.
Tom Stoppard
Your opinions are your symptoms.
Tom Stoppard
Suicide is no more than a trick played on the calendar.
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
In England the rich own the poor and the men own the women.
Tom Stoppard
Every age thinks it's the modern age, but this one really is. Electricity is going to change everything. Everything!
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
I burn with no causes.
Tom Stoppard
We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.
Tom Stoppard
The media. It sounds like a convention of spiritualists.
Tom Stoppard
I will take his secret to the grave, telling people I meet on the way.
Tom Stoppard
For all the compasses in the world, there's only one direction, and time is its only measure.
Tom Stoppard
From principles is derived probability, but truth or certainty is obtained only from facts.
Tom Stoppard
I love love. I love having a lover and being one. The insularity of passion. I love it. I love the way it blurs the distinction between everyone who isn't one's lover.
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
Well I believe in the desirability of an optimal society.
Tom Stoppard
I'm the kind of person who embarks on an endless leapfrog down the great moral issues. I put a position, rebut it, refute the rebuttal and rebut the refutation. Endlessly.
Tom Stoppard
You're familiar with the tragedies of antiquity, are you? The great homicidal classics?
Tom Stoppard
