Okay, I am officially in love with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead...

Ros: He talks to himself, which might be madness.
Guil: If he didn't talk sense, which he does.
Ros: Which suggests the opposite.
Player: Of what?
(small pause)
Guil: I think I have it. A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself.
Ros: Or just as mad.
Guil: Or just as mad.
Ros: And he does both.
Guil: So there you are.
Ros: Stark raving sane.


Is that not wonderful? I want to keep this book forever (too bad it's the school's...). Perhaps I shall go and purchase my own... And I suppose I'll have to check out Stoppard's other work. Hmm. This whole thing makes me rather happy. La!
