For it is not affection but emotional weakness which burdens men with endless troubles and anxieties if they have not been trained by reason in how to cope with fortune.

Alexander Pope
“I am his Highness' dog at Kew;
Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?”
Alexander Pope

Tom Stoppard
“Fifty-five crystal spheres geared to God’s crankshaft is my idea of a satisfying universe. I can’t think of anything more trivial than quarks, quasars, big bangs, and black holes.


Tom Stoppard

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, The Invention of Love

Tom Stoppard
“Poetical feelings are a peril to scholarship. There are always poetical people ready to protest that a corrupt line is exquisite. Exquisite to whom? The Romans were foreigners writing for foreigners two millenniums ago; and for people whose gods we find quaint, whose savagery we abominate, whose private habits we don't like to talk about, but whose idea of what is exquisite is, we flatter ourselves, mysteriously identical to ours.”
Tom Stoppard, The Invention of Love

Vladimir Nabokov
“You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita
