Quotes

I shall have poetry in my life. And adventure. And love, love, love, above all. Love as there has never been in a play. Unbiddable, ungovernable, like a riot in the heart and nothing to be done, come ruin or rapture. Tom Stoppard
Tom Stoppard quote: "The fact is, I loved being English. I was very happy to be..."
The fact is, I loved being English. I was very happy to be turned into an English schoolboy. Tom Stoppard
Tom Stoppard quote: "It's no trick loving somebody at their best. Love is loving..."
It's no trick loving somebody at their best. Love is loving them at their worst. Tom Stoppard
They loved, and quarreled, and made up, and loved, and fought, and were true to each other and untrue. She made him the happiest man in the whole world and the most wretched, and after a few years she died, and then, when he was thirty, he died, too. But by that time Catullus had invented the love poem. Tom Stoppard
There we were - demented children mincing about in clothes that no one ever wore, speaking as no man ever spoke, swearing love in wigs and rhymed couplets, killing each other with wooden swords, hollow protestations of faith hurled after empty promises of vengeance - and every gesture, every pose, vanishing into the thin unpopulated air. We ransomed our dignity to the clouds, and the uncomprehending birds listened. Don't you see?! We're actors - we're the opposite of people! Tom Stoppard
We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see. Tom Stoppard
Before Plato could describe love, the loved one had to be invented. We would never love anybody if we could see past our invention. Bosie is my creation, my poem. In the mirror of invention, love discovered itself. Tom Stoppard
I love love. I love having a lover and being one. The insularity of passion. I love it. I love the way it blurs the distinction between everyone who isn't one's lover. Tom Stoppard
Tom Stoppard quote: "I cannot say that I write with any social objective. One..."
I cannot say that I write with any social objective. One writes because one loves writing, really. Tom Stoppard
