I no longer feel banished from myself.
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
Image
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
Image
Language in art remains a highly ambiguous transaction, a quicksand, a trampoline, a frozen pool which might give way under you ... at any time.

The weasel under the cocktail cabinet.

Beckett had an unerring light on things, which I much appreciated.
Harold Pinter
