Famous quotes by Tom Stoppard:

"Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art."

"It's not the voting that's democracy; it's the counting."

"It is an interesting view of atheism, as a sort of "crutch" for those who can't stand the reality of God"

"My whole life is waiting for the questions to which I have prepared answers."

"We're actors. We're the opposite of people."

"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered."

"Age is a very high price to pay for maturity."

"If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older."

"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..."

"Every exit is an entrance somewhere else"

"The idea of the state is, or should be, a very limited, prescribed idea. The state looks after the defense of the realm, and other matters - raising revenue to pay for things which are for all of us, and so on. That idea has turned turtle now. The state isn't any longer perceived as an institution which exists to serve us."

"If enough things that are untrue are said about you, no one will know what really is true."

"I'm offended by things and take pathetic little stands against them."

"I read for interest and enjoyment, and when I cease to enjoy it I stop."

"It is better of course to know useless things than to know nothing."

"The media. It sounds like a convention of spiritualists."

"I've seldom minded other people's opinions, but the other side of that coin is that I've seldom been interested by them, um their opinions about me I mean."

"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."

"I consider myself to be a very fortunate person and to have led a very fortunate life."

"I cannot say that I write with any social objective. One writes because one loves writing, really."
