"I write plays because writing dialogue is the only respectable way of contra-
dicting yourself. I'm the kind of person who embarks on an endless leapfrog
down the great moral issues. I put a position, rebut it, refute it, refute the
rebuttal, and rebut the refutation. Forever. Endlessly." — Tom Stoppard
from an interview with Mel Gussow in the New York Times, 26 April 1972.
