Voyage by Tom Stoppard

5.0

The death of a child has no more meaning than the death of armies, of nations. Was the child happy while he lived? That is a proper question, the only question. If we can't arrange our own happiness, it's a conceit beyond vulgarity to arrange the happiness of those who come after us.

I bought the trilogy for my wife just before we went to NYC to see it performed life at Lincoln Center. Stoppard provided an astonishing intellectual history. I thoroughly enjoyed the performances as well. The evening reached its zenith when John Lithgow and I had our moment.
