Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Tom Stoppard
Tom Stoppard was refreshingly candid when, after the successful premiere of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, he was asked what the play was about: It's about to make me a lot of money. ~ Clive James
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Clive James
More than any other contemporary British playwright, Tom Stoppard populates his plays
from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead to The Invention of Love (his portrait of the poet and scholar A. E. Housman)
with characters from life and literature. But one cannot always tell the difference between those who are real and those who are imaginary. ~ Mel Gussow
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Mel Gussow
We must be born with an intuition of mortality. Before we know the word for it. Before we know that there are words. Out we come, bloodied and squalling, with the knowledge that for all the points of the compass, there's only one direction. And time is its only measure. ~ Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Tom Stoppard
The colours red, blue and green are real. The colour yellow is a mystical experience shared by everybody. ~ Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Tom Stoppard
What Hamlet suffers from is a lack of zombies. Let us say Rosencrantz and Guildenstern show up - Ho-HO! Now you've got something that stirs the, um, something that stirs things that are stirrable. BOOM! A pack of ravenous flesh-eaters breaks open their heads and sucks out their eyeballs. No need for iambic pentameter because they are grunting, groaning annihilators of humanity with no time for meter. You're not asleep in the back of English class anymore, are you? This is what I'm talking about. Zombies. Learn it, live it, love it. ~ Libba Bray
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Libba Bray
There must have been a moment, at the beginning, were we could have said
no. But somehow we missed it. ~ Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz: Shouldn't we be doing something
constructive?
Guildenstern: What did you have in mind? ... A short, blunt human pyramid ... ? ~ Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Tom Stoppard
Watching Hamlet embarrassing Rosencrantz and Guildenstern by showing them he knows they're liars and spies, Max was thinking, Hamlet cares only about the truth, or only he cares about the truth, and it's so hard to find, too hard for anyone to find. Where is it? ~ Lucy Beckett
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Lucy Beckett
Look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else. ~ Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Tom Stoppard
Life is a gamble, at terrible odds. If it were a bet you wouldn't take it. ~ Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Tom Stoppard
Whatever became of the moment when one first knew about death? There must have been one. A moment. In childhood. When it first occurred to you that you don't go on forever. It must have been shattering, stamped into one's memory. And yet, I can't remember it. ~ Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Tom Stoppard
I want a good story, with a beginning, middle and end. ~ Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Tom Stoppard
Somebody gotta tell you this:
Cancer kills way more Americans than any Arabic terrorist.
We use more money to fight them than finding a cure,
So a little kid sits there with his chemo-therapist.
Hair falling out while his vital signs weaken ...
He'll be dead while his parent are in debt for his treatment. ~ Crooked I
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Crooked I
Now all my teachers are dead except silence. ~ W.S. Merwin
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by W.S. Merwin
For present-day politicians there are only political points to be made from such statements, and the larger the sin the larger the outrage, the larger the apology and the larger the potential political gain for sorrow expressed. Through such statements political leaders can gain the benefits of magnanimity without the stain of involvement: the person making the apology had done nothing wrong and all the people who could have received the apology are dead. ~ Douglas Murray
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Douglas Murray
As for my clothes, they suit the life I lead. The current fashions are impractical for an active person. Skirts so tight one must toddle like an infant, bodices boned so firmly it is impossible to draw a deep breath ... And bustles! Of all the idiotic contrivances foisted upon helpless womankind, the bustle is certainly the worst. I wear them, since it is impossible to have a gown made without them, but at least I can insist on sensible dark fabrics and a minimum of ornament. What a fool I should look in puffs and frills and crimson satin - or a gown trimmed with dead birds, like one I saw! ~ Elizabeth Peters
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Elizabeth Peters
I don't know that you'll understand this, but once upon a time, long ago, I was a scholar and a marathon man, but that fella's gone now, dead I suppose, but I remember something he thought, which was that if you don't learn the mistakes of the past, you'll be doomed to repeat them. Well we've been making a mistake with people like you, because public trials are bullshit and executions are games for winners - all this time we should have been giving back pain. That's the real lesson. That's the loser's share, just pain, pure and simple, pain and torture, no hotshot lawyers running around trying to see that justice is done. I think we'd have a nice peaceful place here if all you warmakers knew you better not start something because if you lost, agony was just around the bend. That's what I'd like to give you. Agony. Not what you're suffering now. I mean a lifetime of it, 'cause that's the only degree of justice I think we're ready for down here yet, and I know any humanist might disagree with me too, but I don't think you will, because you had a lot to do with educating me, I'm like you now, except I'm better at it, because you're going to die and I've still got a long way to go. ~ William Goldman
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by William Goldman
Life is just one long day separated into sections by sleep. Life never stops happening until you are dead. So whatever happens-love, grief, hate, shame- never disappears. It just gets easier to live with. It just scabs over, waiting for something else significant to happen. ~ Sunshine O'Donnell
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Sunshine O'Donnell
War, for most women, is about the destiny of one person. For me, it became three - the one I feared was dead, and the two of you who now are. ~ Phyllis Edgerly Ring
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Phyllis Edgerly Ring
Are the dead restored? The books say no, the night shouts yes ~ John Fante
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by John Fante
If you, like me, are essentially a city person, then the chances are that when you imagine a wood you picture a simple thing: matching green trees in even rows, a soft carpet of dead leaves or pine needles, orderly as a child's drawing. Possibly those earnestly efficient man-made woods are in fact like that; I wouldn't know. ~ Tana French
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Tana French
Play dead often and long enough and people begin to think you are. ~ Janet Tashjian
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Janet Tashjian
I walked out and I got a standing ovation from all these people, and it's like a creepy thing ... either you've become a cultural icon, or they are applauding the fact that you are not dead yet. ~ Neil Gaiman
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Neil Gaiman
You will never stop seeing yourself. You can do nothing, you cannot escape yourself, you cannot escape your own gaze, you never will be able to: even if you were to fall into a sleep so deep that no shock, no shout, no burning pain could rouse you, there would still be this eye, your eye, that will never close, that will never sleep.
You see yourself, you see yourself seeing yourself, you watch yourself watching yourself. Even if you were to wake up, your vision would remain the same, immutable. Even if you managed to grow thousands, billions of extra eyelids, there would still be this eye, behind, which would see you. You are not asleep but sleep will never come again. You are not awake and you will never wake up. You are not dead and even death could never set you free."
-from "A Man Asleep ~ Georges Perec
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Georges Perec
Those who remain have forgotten they are alive. They think they have more in common with their fallen than with their enemy. Nothing could be further from the truth. I know the difference between life and death. Two live beings from the opposite boundaries of the galaxy have infinitely more in common with each other than the living and the dead from the same family. ~ Ilona Andrews
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Ilona Andrews
But you're dead inside to me, you're cold and beyond my reach! It is as if I'm not here, beside you. And, not being here with you, I have the dreadful feeling that I don't exist at all. And you are as cold and distant from me as those strange modern paintings of lines and hard forms that I cannot love or comprehend, as alien as those hard mechanical sculptures of this age which have no human form. I shudder when I'm near you. I look into your eyes and my reflection isn't there ... ~ Anne Rice
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Anne Rice
No one lets dead poets lie in peace. We are like old meat on a crowded dinner table. ~ Steven Erikson
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Steven Erikson
How some dare scorn (as if a fabulous lie) that they should rise whom death to dust doth bind
and like to beasts, a beastly life they lead, who naught attend save death when they are dead. ~ William Alexander, 1st Earl Of Stirling
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by William Alexander, 1st Earl Of Stirling
I've got a guy in my office that works 24/7 to shut down websites that are putting 'Dead Air' on the net for free - ripping us off. The problem is many people are of the mindset that says, 'If I can watch it for free, I'll watch it.' ~ Corbin Bernsen
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Corbin Bernsen
Ancient Egypt was doubly fortunate, and doubtless owed to this its fabled wealth, in that it possessed two activities, namely, pyramid-building as well as the search for the precious metals, the fruits of which, since they could not serve the needs of man by being consumed, did not stale with abundance. The Middle Ages built cathedrals and sang dirges. Two pyramids, two masses for the dead, are twice as good as one; but not so two railways from London to York. Thus we are so sensible, have schooled ourselves to so close a semblance of prudent financiers, taking careful thought before we add to the 'financial' burdens of posterity by building them houses to live in, that we have no such easy escape from the sufferings of unemployment. We have to accept them as an inevitable result of applying to the conduct of the State the maxims which are best calculated to 'enrich' an individual by enabling him to pile up claims to enjoyment which he does not intend to exercise at any definite time. ~ John Maynard Keynes
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by John Maynard Keynes
My two best friends are dead, which means they're great listeners now, but lousy as far as support goes. ~ Alex Adams
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Alex Adams
R wrote Delahaye about all that had happened to him and about what he, R, wanted:
My friend,
You're eating white flour and mud in your pigsty. I don't miss Charleville. I don't miss being a bored pig where the sun dries up all brains but sloth. Your brains or feelings're being dried up: dead pig Delahaye.
Emotions are the movers of this world.
Me: I'm thirsty. What I'm thirsty for - whom I'm thirsty for - I can't get so I drink poisons. I've got to free myself. From what? Pain? Oh - for more poisons. Maybe more poisons'll come and I'll go so far, I'll emerge. Something is trying to emerge from this mess.
I don't know how. ~ Kathy Acker
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Kathy Acker
Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead. - BEN FRANKLIN, POOR RICHARD'S ALMANACK T ~ Neil Gaiman
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Neil Gaiman
There are no words for how much I will miss her, but I try to kiss her so that she'll know. I try to kiss her to tell her the whole story of my love, the way I dreamed of her when she was dead, the way that every other girl seemed like a mirror that showed me her face. The way my skin ached for her. The way that kissing her made me feel like I was drowning and like I was being saved all at the same time. I hope she can taste all that, bittersweet, on my tongue. ~ Holly Black
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Holly Black
Gwen has never been so frightened in her life. There's some comfort in knowing that the others are out here with her, even if she can't see them. It's like she's alone in a dark void. She can't bear to think about David, what the gunshots might mean. Is someone else dead? She wonders if soon there will be no one left at all. She wants to live, but she hopes that if she has to die, she isn't the last one. She doesn't think she could bear it. She is defenseless. She thinks of the small, sharp letter opener that had been lying on the writing desk in their room. She wishes she had it with her now. ~ Shari Lapena
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Shari Lapena
I am half inclined to think we are all ghosts ... it is not only what we have inherited from our fathers and mothers that exists again in us, but all sorts of old dead ideas and all kinds of old dead beliefs and things of that kind. They are not actually alive in us; but there they are dormant all the same, and we can never be rid of them. Whenever I take up a newspaper and read it, I fancy I see ghosts creeping between the lines. There must be ghosts all over the world. They must be as countless as the grains of the sands, it seems to me. And we are so miserably afraid of the light, all of us. ~ Henrik Ibsen
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Henrik Ibsen
The recent history of Ukraine is replete with dead journalists, beaten journalists, news agencies being shut down, and politicians being injured or killed. Most are killed in mysterious auto accidents. ~ Bob Schaffer
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Bob Schaffer
Eventually you will be dead, but today you are not. ~ Steve Roggenbuck
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Steve Roggenbuck
I am here because I worked too hard and too long not to be here. But although I told the university that I would walk across the stage to take my diploma, I won't. At age fifty-seven, I'm too damned old, and I'd look ridiculous in this crowd. From where I'm standing in the back of the hall, I can see that I am at least two decades older than most of the parents of these kids in their black caps and gowns.
So I'll graduate with this class, but I won't walk across the stage and collect my diploma with them; I'll have the school send it to my house. I only want to hear my name called. I'll imagine what the rest would have been like. When you've had a life like mine, you learn to do that, to imagine the good things.
The ceremony is about to begin. It's a warm June day and a hallway of glass doors leading to the parking lot are open, the dignitaries march onto the stage, a janitor slams the doors shut, one after the other.
That banging sound.
It's Christmas Day 1961 and three Waterbury cops are throwing their bulk against our sorely overmatched front door. They are wearing their long woolen blue coats and white gloves and they swear at the cold.
They've finally come for us, in the dead of night, to take us away, just as our mother said they would. ~ John William Tuohy
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by John William Tuohy
I don't believe in funerals.

Funerals aren't for the dead. The dead are gone. They couldn't care less.

Funerals are for the living.

They're for the people trying to feel better about the things they could have said, the things they could have done for the dead while they were still alive.

The dead don't give a damn.

The dead couldn't care less about what's being said to them, about them.

Hell, they're dead.

The dead know the living aren't there for them, but for themselves. To feel better, to feel less guilty, less regretful, to feel loved, better appreciated by all the other living people who, like them, should have paid attention to the dead while it still mattered, while they were still alive.

So screw funerals.

Forget the dead.

Tend to the living.

Before it's too late.

Before they're dead ~ Lionel Fisher
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Lionel Fisher
The dead are emotionless. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Sci-fi films are as dead as westerns. ~ Ridley Scott
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Ridley Scott
I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself. ~ Neil Gaiman
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Neil Gaiman
There are some things which happen to us which the intelligence and the senses refuse just as the stomach sometimes refuses what the palate has accepted but which digestion cannot compass _occurences which stop us dead as though by some impalpable intervention, like a sheet of glass through which we watch all subsequent events transpire as though in a soundless vacuum, and fade, vanish; are gone, leaving us immobile, impotent, helpless; fixed, until we can die. ~ William Faulkner
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by William Faulkner
Humans are thought to be at the top of the food chain...
But there are beings who hunt them as food.
These monsters who feed on the dead flesh of humans.
They are called...
...Ghouls. ~ Sui Ishida
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Sui Ishida
No one knows what to do with me now that I'm alive. There's no protocol for how to treat someone who comes back from the dead. There are so many books about grief and loss, about saying good-bye to the people you love. But there is no book about taking back that good-bye. ~ Amy Reed
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Amy Reed
Where are your books? - that light bequeathed
To beings else forlorn and blind!
Up! up! and drink the spirit breathed
From dead men to their kind. ~ William Wordsworth
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by William Wordsworth
I'm not a huge fan of prequels and sequels and the cynical rush to make money on the back of books by other writers who are now dead. ~ Anthony Horowitz
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Anthony Horowitz
A writer's will is the winds of dead calm in the Western Lands. Point way out he can start stirring of the sail. Writer, where are you going? To write. Here we are in texts already written on the sky. Where he doesn't need to write anymore. A slight seismic with the cat book. Always remember, the work is the mainsail to reach the Western Lands. The texts sing. Everything is grass and bushes, a desert or a maze of texts. Here you are ... never use the same door twice. Sky in all directions ... on the word for word. The word for word is word. The western sail stirs candles on 1920 country club table. Each page is a door to everything is permitted. The fragile lifeboat between this and that. Your words are the sails. ~ William S. Burroughs
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by William S. Burroughs
And please don't say all the cats are dead," said Emma. "I'm not sure I can cope with feline death on a massive scale. ~ Cassandra Clare
Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead quotes by Cassandra Clare
Madoka: Won't anyone notice that Mami-san is dead?
Homura: Mami Tomoe's only relatives are distant relations. It will be quite some time before anyone files a missing persons report. When one dies on that side of the wards, not even a body is left behind. She'll wind up forever a "missing person" ... That is what happens to magical girls in the end.
Madoka: ... That's too cruel! Mami-san has been fighting all alone for a long time for everyone's sake! For no one to even notice that she's gone ... That's just too lonely a fate ...
Homura: It is just that kind of contract that gives us the power in the first place. It isn't for anyone else's sake. We fight on for the sake of our own prayer. So for no one to notice ... for the world to forget us ... That is just something we have to accept. ~ Magica Quartet
