Tom Stoppard quote: "Be happy -- if you're not even happy, what's so good about..."
Be happy -- if you're not even happy, what's so good about surviving? Tom Stoppard
It's where we're nearest to our humanness. Useless knowledge for its own sake. Useful knowledge is good, too, but it's for the faint-hearted, an elaboration of the real thing, which is only to shine some light, it doesn't matter where on what, it's the light itself, against the darkness, it's what's left of God's purpose when you take away God. Tom Stoppard

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. Tom Stoppard
Tom Stoppard quote: "We drift down time, clutching at straws. But what good's a..."
We drift down time, clutching at straws. But what good's a brick to a drowning man? Tom Stoppard
What is an artist? For every thousand people there's nine hundred doing the work, ninety doing well, nine doing good, and one lucky bastard who's the artist. Tom Stoppard
Tom Stoppard quote: "The bad end unhappily, the good unluckily. That is what..."
The bad end unhappily, the good unluckily. That is what tragedy means. Tom Stoppard
