Every age thinks it's the modern age, but this one really is. Electricity is going to change everything. Everything!
Tom Stoppard
Image
You think human nature is a beast, that it must be put in a cage. But it's the cage that makes the animal bad.

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
Image
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
Image
He says his aim is poetry. One does not aim at poetry with pistols. At poets, perhaps.
Tom Stoppard
Image
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
Image
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.

Your opinions are your symptoms.
Tom Stoppard
Image
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
Image
I've lost all capacity for disbelief. I'm not sure that I could even rise to a little gentle scepticism.

Personally I am in favour of education but a university is not the place for it.
