Harold Pinter
Image
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?

Rationality went down the drain donkey's years ago and hasn't been seen since.

I mean, if a thing works, if a thing is right, respect that, acknowledge it, respect it and hold to it.

My second play, The Birthday Party, I wrote in 1958 - or 1957. It was totally destroyed by the critics of the day, who called it an absolute load of rubbish.
