Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Quotes

• 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

  One Direction, Intuition, Compass

• Rosencrantz: We might as well be dead. Do you think death could possibly be a boat? Guildenstern: No, no, no... Death is...not. Death isn't. You take my meaning. Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can't not-be on a boat. Rosencrantz: I've frequently not been on boats. Guildenstern: No, no, no--what you've been is not on boats.

• Allí estábamos, niños dementes que se paseaban con ropas que nadie había llevado nunca, hablando como nadie había hablado jamás, jurando amor con pelucas y coplas rimadas, matándonos unos a otros con espadas de madera, lanzando huecas protestas de fe tras vacías promesas de venganza, y cada gesto, cada pose, desvaneciéndose en el delgado aire despoblado. Rescatamos nuestra dignidad a las nubes, y los pájaros incomprendidos escucharon. ¡¿No lo ves?! Somos actores, ¡lo contrario de las personas!

• 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.

• It's silly to be depressed by it. I mean one thinks of it like being alive in a box, one keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead, which should make all the difference, shouldn't it? I mean, you'd never know you were in a box would you?... Even taking into account the fact that you're dead, it isn't a pleasant thought. Especially if you're dead, really. Ask yourself, if I asked you straight off-- I'm going to stuff you in this box now would you rather be alive or dead? Naturally you'd prefer to be alive. Life in a box is better than no life at all.
