Text Quotes
No matter how imperfect things are, if you’ve got a free press everything is correctable, and without it everything is concealable. (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
It is easily and often overlooked that when Thomas Jefferson asserted that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were inalienable human rights, he did so on the ground that they had been endowed by God, our Creator. (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
The bad end unhappily; the good, unluckily. That is what tragedy means. (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
Like many people, I only knew of Ford Madox Ford through a book called ‘The Good Soldier,’ which is everybody’s favorite Ford Madox Ford if they have one, but I came to read ‘Parade’s End’ when it was suggested via Damien Timmer of Mammoth Screen. (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
The idea that being human and having rights are equivalent - that rights are inherent - is unintelligible in a Darwinian world. (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
I’m not a theoretician about playwriting, but I have a strong sense that plays have to be pitched - the scene, the line, the word - at the exact point where the audience has just the right amount of information. It’s like Occam’s razor. (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
Beauty is desired in order that it may be befouled; not for its own sake, but for the joy brought by the certainty of profaning it (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
From as long as, literally as far back as I can remember I've liked puns, word jokes, I can literally recall looking at a comic at the age of six or seven and I remember what I enjoyed and what it was precisely and how the joke worked (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
I like pop music. I consider rock 'n' roll to be a branch of pop music (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
I was delighted to not go to university. I couldn't wait to be out of education (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
The House of Lords, an illusion to which I have never been able to subscribe - responsibility without power, the prerogative of the eunuch throughout the ages (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
You can't but know that if you can capture the emotions of the audience as well as their minds, the play will work better, because it's a narrative art form (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
Life is a gamble, at terrible odds - if it was a bet you wouldn't take it (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
My work always tried to unite the true with the beautiful; but when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
Revolution is a trivial shift in the emphasis of suffering; the capacity for self-indulgence changes hands (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
Language is a finite instrument crudely applied to an infinity of ideas, and one consequence of the failure to take account of this is that modern philosophy has made itself ridiculous by analysing such statements as, This is a good bacon sandwich, or, Bedser had a good wicket (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
An essentially private man who wished his total indifference to public notice to be universally recognized (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
To be an artist at all is like living in Switzerland during a world war. To be an artist in Zurich, in 1917, implies a degree of self-absorption that would have glazed over the eyes of Narcissus (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
War is capitalism with the gloves off and many who go to war know it but they go to war because they don't want to be a hero. It takes courage to sit down and be counted (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
I learned three things in Zurich during the war. I wrote them down. Firstly, you're either a revolutionary or you're not, and if you're not you might as well be an artist as anything else. Secondly, if you can't be an artist, you might as well be a revolutionary.... I forget the third thing (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Junk journalism is the evidence of a society that has got at least one thing right, that there should be nobody with the power to dictate where responsible journalism begins (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The days of the digitals are numbered. The metaphor is built into them like a self-destruct mechanism (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
Buddy Holly was twenty-two. Think of what he might have gone on to achieve. I mean, if Beethoven had been killed in a plane crash at twenty-two, the history of music would have been very different. As would the history of aviation, of course (Tom Stoppard Quotes)
