More quotes by Harold Pinter
Don't forget the earth's about five thousand million years old, at least. Who can afford to live in the past?
Harold Pinter
The weasel under the cocktail cabinet.
Harold Pinter
I found the offer of a knighthood something that I couldn't possibly accept. I found it to be somehow squalid, a knighthood. There's a relationship to government about knights.
Harold Pinter
Be careful how you talk about God. He's the only God we have. If you let him go he won't come back. He won't even look back over his shoulder. And then what will you do?
Harold Pinter
I tend to think that cricket is the greatest thing that God ever created on earth - certainly greater than sex, although sex isn't too bad either.
Harold Pinter
I also found being called Sir rather silly.
Harold Pinter
No matter how you look at it, all the emotions connected with love are not really immortal like all other passions in life, they are bound to fade at some point. The trick is to convert love into some lasting friendship that overcomes the fading passion.
Harold Pinter
One way of looking at speech is to say it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness.
Harold Pinter
This particular nurse said, Cancer cells are those which have forgotten how to die. I was so struck by this statement.
Harold Pinter
Nothing is more sterile or lamentable than the man content to live within himself.
Harold Pinter
I mean, if a thing works, if a thing is right, respect that, acknowledge it, respect it and hold to it.
Harold Pinter
The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember.
Harold Pinter
Rationality went down the drain donkey's years ago and hasn't been seen since.
Harold Pinter
The invasion of Iraq was a bandit act, an act of blatant state terrorism, demonstrating absolute contempt for the concept of international law.
Harold Pinter
There never is any such thing as one truth to be found in dramatic art. There are many. These truths challenge each other, recoil from each other, reflect each other, ignore each other, tease each other, are blind to each other. Sometimes you feel you have the truth of a moment in your hand, then it slips through your fingers and is lost.
Harold Pinter
I believe the US is a truly monstrous force in the world, now off the leash for obvious reasons.
Harold Pinter
I don't write with any audience in mind. I just write. I take a chance on the audience. That's what I did originally, and I think it's worked--in the sense that I find there is an audience.
Harold Pinter
Occasionally it does hit me, the words on a page. And I still love doing that, as I have for the last 60 years.
Harold Pinter
I don't intend to simply go away and write my plays and be a good boy. I intend to remain an independent and political intelligence in my own right.
Harold Pinter
I thought the plays would speak for themselves. But they didn't.
Harold Pinter
