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 wanted very much to burst through the screen with a flame thrower and burn their eyes out and their balls off and then inquire from them how they would assess the action from a political point of view.
Harold Pinter
