Tom Stoppard

Love is a trick of the light.

The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

Life is a game, and the only way to win is to play.

The only thing that matters is the truth.

Every exit is an entry somewhere else.

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.

It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.

The trouble with you, my dear, is that you think you're the only one who's ever been in love.

The only thing that makes life bearable is the knowledge that it will end.

I don't believe in God, but I'm very interested in him.

The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.

A good play is a play that works.

The heart of the matter is that the matter has no heart.

We are all of us in the dark, and some of us are looking for the light.

The future is not what it used to be.

The only thing that is constant is change.

Love is not a feeling, it's a decision.

The past is never dead. It's not even past.

The only thing that makes life worth living is the pursuit of knowledge.

I write to find out what I think.
