More quotes by 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
I write fiction because it's a way of making statements I can disown.
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
I think that the present is worth attention, one shouldn't sacrifice it to future conceptions of, of this future or that future.
Tom Stoppard

Real data is messy. ...It's all very noisy out there. Very hard to spot the tune. Like a piano in the next room, it's playing your song, but unfortunately it's out of whack, some of the strings are missing, and the pianist is tone deaf and drunk- I mean, the noise! Impossible!
Tom Stoppard

Tom Stoppard
Words are sacred. If you get the right ones in the right order you can nudge the world a little.
Tom Stoppard
Maturity is a high price to pay for growing up.
Tom Stoppard
Theater is a recreation. It can be much more, but unless it's recreation, I don't see the point of it.
Tom Stoppard
I will take his secret to the grave, telling people I meet on the way.
Tom Stoppard
Left to themselves people are noble, generous, uncorrupted, they'd create a completely new kind of society if only people weren't so blind, stupid and selfish.
Tom Stoppard
Save the gerund and screw the whale.
Tom Stoppard
A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier.
Tom Stoppard
My mind gets into a verbal mode.
Tom Stoppard
The fact is that people are attracted to new work and by new work.
Tom Stoppard
Act first! The ideas will follow, and if not - well, it's progress
Tom Stoppard
Actors! The mechanics of cheap melodrama! That isn't death! You scream and choke and sink to your knees but it doesn't bring death home to anyone- it doesn't catch them unawares and start the whisper in their skulls that says- 'One day you are going to die.
Tom Stoppard
