More quotes by Harold Pinter
Clinton's hands remain incredibly clean, don't they, and Tony Blair's smile remains as wide as ever. I view these guises with profound contempt.
Harold Pinter
I thought the plays would speak for themselves. But they didn't.
Harold Pinter
The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember.
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 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
I never think of myself as wise. I think of myself as possessing a critical intelligence which I intend to allow to operate.
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
I think that NATO is itself a war criminal.
Harold Pinter
How can the unknown merit reverence?
Harold Pinter

Harold Pinter
Good writing excites me, and makes life worth living.
Harold Pinter
I believe the US is a truly monstrous force in the world, now off the leash for obvious reasons.
Harold Pinter
One way of looking at speech is to say it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness.
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 hate brandy...it stinks of modern literature.
Harold Pinter
I know the place. It is true. Everything we do Corrects the space Between death and me And you.
Harold Pinter
Nothing is more sterile or lamentable than the man content to live within himself.
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
When the storm is over and night falls and the moon is out in all its glory and all you're left with is the rhythm of the sea, of the waves, you know what God intended for the human race, you know what paradise is.
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
