More quotes by Harold Pinter
Nothing is more sterile or lamentable than the man content to live within himself.
Harold Pinter
All that happens is that the destruction of human beings - unless they're Americans - is called collateral damage.
Harold Pinter
I also found being called Sir rather silly.
Harold Pinter
I'm not committed as a writer, in the usual sense of the term, either religiously or politically. And I'm not conscious of any particular social function. I write because I want to write. I don't see any placards on myself, and I don't carry any banners.
Harold Pinter
I was brought up in the War. I was an adolescent in the Second World War. And I did witness in London a great deal of the Blitz.
Harold Pinter
Good writing excites me, and makes life worth living.

Harold Pinter
There are some things one remembers even though they may never have happened.
Harold Pinter
While The United States is the most powerful nation the world has ever seen, it is also the most detested nation that the world has ever known.
Harold Pinter
Most of the press is in league with government, or with the status quo.
Harold Pinter
I hate brandy...it stinks of modern literature.
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 know little of women. But I've heard dread tales.
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
How can the unknown merit reverence?
Harold Pinter
I believe the US is a truly monstrous force in the world, now off the leash for obvious reasons.
Harold Pinter
