Player: Relax. Respond. That's what people do. You can't go through life question your sitution at every turn.
Tom Stoppard
You can't treat royalty like people with normal perverted desires.
Tom Stoppard
In England the rich own the poor and the men own the women.
Tom Stoppard
I don't keep a diary and I throw away nearly all the paper I might have kept. I don't keep an archive. There's something worrying about my make-up that I try to leave no trace of myself apart from my plays.
Tom Stoppard
Words are sacred. If you get the right ones in the right order you can nudge the world a little.
Tom Stoppard

Tom Stoppard
All mystical experience is coincidence and vice versa, of course.
Tom Stoppard

Tom Stoppard
I will take his secret to the grave, telling people I meet on the way.
Tom Stoppard

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
It takes character to withstand the rigours of indolence.
Tom Stoppard
To be frank: the translations that often sound bad in the mouths of the actors, these have often been done by linguists.
Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz: We might as well be dead. Do you think death could possibly be a boat? Guildenstern: No, no, no... Death is...not. Death isn't. You take my meaning. Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can't not-be on a boat. Rosencrantz: I've frequently not been on boats. Guildenstern: No, no, no--what you've been is not on boats.
Tom Stoppard
I know the British press is very attached to the lobby system. It lets the journalists and the politicians feel proud of their traditional freedoms while giving the reader as much of the truth as they think is good for him.
Tom Stoppard
One of the nice things about the world of filmmaking is that you make friends in the business.
Tom Stoppard
It's no trick loving somebody at their best. Love is loving them at their worst.
Tom Stoppard
Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance at least. You could lie there thinking: Well, at least I'm not dead.
Tom Stoppard
I never had any frustration about writing uncredited. I always felt that the satisfaction of doing it was in the doing of it, really, and getting recognised by the small number of people that know what you did.
Tom Stoppard
It was a different planet in 1967, the Broadway theatre. It had a little ashtray clamped to the back of every seat and the author got 10% of the gross.
