Tom Stoppard Quotes

Personally I am in favour of education but a university is not the place for it Picture Quote #1
I can put two and two together, you know. Do not think you are dealing with a man who has lost his grapes Picture Quote #1
Words are sacred. If you get the right ones in the right order you can nudge the world a little Picture Quote #1
To say that it is without pace, point, focus, interest, drama, wit or originality is to say simply that it does not happen to be my cup of tea Picture Quote #1
Happiness is equilibrium. Shift your weight. Equilibrium is pragmatic. You have to get everything into proportion. You compensate, rebalance yourself so that you maintain your angle to your world. When the world shifts, you shift Picture Quote #1
People think there’s a choice between smoking and immortality, but we’ve all got to die of something Picture Quote #1

I think that the present is worth attention, one shouldn’t sacrifice it to future conceptions of, of this future or that future Picture Quote #1
If enough things that are untrue are said about you, no one will know what really is true Picture Quote #1
The whole notion of journalism being an institution whose fundamental purpose is to educate and inform and even, one might say, elevate, has altered under commercial pressure, perhaps, into a different kind of purpose, which is to divert and distract and entertain Picture Quote #1
Words... They’re innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they’re no good any more... I don’t think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you’re dead Picture Quote #1
We shed as we pick up, like travellers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. but there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it Picture Quote #1
A scholar’s business is to add to what is known. That is all. But it is capable of giving the very greatest satisfaction, because knowledge is good. It does not have to look good or even sound good or even do good. It is good just by being knowledge. And the only thing that makes it knowledge is that it is true. You can’t have too much of it and there is no little too little to be worth having. There is truth and falsehood in a comma Picture Quote #1

It makes me so happy. To be at the beginning again, knowing almost nothing... A door like this has cracked open five or six times since we got up on our hind legs. It’s the best possible time of being alive, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong Picture Quote #1
... 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? Picture Quote #1
Whatever became of the moment when one first knew about death? There must have been one. A moment. In childhood. When it first occurred to you that you don’t go on forever. It must have been shattering, stamped into one’s memory. And yet, I can’t remember it Picture Quote #1
Dying is not romantic, and death is not a game which will soon be over... Death is not anything... death is not... It’s the absence of presence, nothing more... the endless time of never coming back... a gap you can’t see, and when the wind blows through it, it makes not sound Picture Quote #1
If you could stop every atom in its position and direction, and if your mind could comprehend all the actions thus suspended, then if you were really, really good at algebra you could write the formula for all the future; and although nobody can be so clever as to do it, the formula must exist just as if one could Picture Quote #1
The idea that all the people locked up in mental hospitals are sane while all the people walking about are mad is merely a literary cliche, put about by people who should be locked up. I assure you there is not much in it. Taken as a whole, the sane are out there the sick are in here. For example you are in here because you have delusions that sane people are put in mental hospitals Picture Quote #1
