Tom Stoppard
  • Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

  • I think age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

  • From as long as, literally as far back as I can remember I've liked puns, word jokes, I can literally recall looking at a comic at the age of six or seven and I remember what I enjoyed and what it was precisely and how the joke worked.

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

  • 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.
