Tom Stoppard Quotes
When I Was Twelve I Was Obsessed. Everything Was Sex. Latin Was Sex. The Dictionary Fell Open At 'meretrix', A Harlot. You Could Feel The Mystery Coming Off The Word Like Musk. 'Meretrix'!

History Was Sex, French Was Sex, Art Was Sex, The Bible, Poetry, Penfriends, Games, Music, Everything Was Sex Except Biology Which Was Obviously Sex But Not Really Sex, Not The One Which Was Secret And Ecstatic And Wicked And A Sacrament And All The Things It Was Supposed To Be But Couldn't Be At One And The Same Time - I Got That In The Boiler Room And It Turned Out To Be Biology After All.
