More quotes by 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.
Tom Stoppard
In the theater there is often a tension, almost a contradiction, between the way real people would think and behave, and a kind of imposed dramaticness.
Tom Stoppard
Suicide is no more than a trick played on the calendar.
Tom Stoppard
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
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
Your opinions are your symptoms.
Tom Stoppard

Tom Stoppard
I burn with no causes.
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
It's the wanting to know that makes us matter.
Tom Stoppard

Tom Stoppard
Good things, when short, are twice as good.
Tom Stoppard
Each move is dictated by the previous one--that is the meaning of order
Tom Stoppard
Personally I am in favour of education but a university is not the place for it.
Tom Stoppard
The media. It sounds like a convention of spiritualists.
Tom Stoppard
In England the rich own the poor and the men own the women.
Tom Stoppard
A foreign correspondent is someone who lives in foreign parts and corresponds, usually in the form of essays containing no new facts. Otherwise he's someone who flies around from hotel to hotel and thinks that the most interesting thing about any story is the fact that he has arrived to cover it.
Tom Stoppard
...Everything has to be taken on trust truth is only that what is taken to be true. It's the currency if living. There may be nothing behind it, but it doesn't make any difference so long as it is honoured. One acts on assumptions. What do you assume?
Tom Stoppard
Back in the East you can't do much without the right papers, but with the right papers you can do anything The believe in papers. Papers are power.
Tom Stoppard
A circle is the longest distance to same point.
