I don't think Stoppardian has a precise definition.

I'm attracted to the past.

Any revival in which I am involved is liable to change.

The unpredictable and the predetermined unfold together to make everything the way it is.

You always end up with too much, so it's good to be part of the conversation about not just what you can omit, but how you are going to do the grammar of the omission, how you make things continue to work when there's something missing. It's your last chance to rewrite.

If you took away everything in the world that had to be invented, there'd be nothing left except a lot of people getting rained on.

We give advice by the bucket, but take it by the grain.
