Tom Stoppard
Image
Wars are fought for oil wells and coaling stations for control of the Dardanelles or the Suez Canal for colonial pickings to buy cheap in and conquered markets to sell dear in. War is capitalism with the gloves off.
Tom Stoppard

Good things, when short, are twice as good.
Tom Stoppard
Image
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

I don't write at the library, because I smoke when I work or would like the possibility of a smoke. Also, I need to be at my own desk.
