More quotes by Harold Pinter
There are some things one remembers even though they may never have happened.
Harold Pinter
The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember.
Harold Pinter
Nothing is more sterile or lamentable than the man content to live within himself.
Harold Pinter
I also found being called Sir rather silly.
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
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 believe the US is a truly monstrous force in the world, now off the leash for obvious reasons.
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
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
Good writing excites me, and makes life worth living.
Harold Pinter
Language in art remains a highly ambiguous transaction, a quicksand, a trampoline, a frozen pool which might give way under you ... at any time.
Harold Pinter
I think that NATO is itself a war criminal.
Harold Pinter
The invasion of Iraq was a bandit act, an act of blatant state terrorism, demonstrating absolute contempt for the concept of international law.
Harold Pinter
I know little of women. But I've heard dread tales.
Harold Pinter
I thought the plays would speak for themselves. But they didn't.
Harold Pinter
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?
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'll tell you what I really think about politicians. The other night I watched some politicians on television talking about Vietnam. 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
The weasel under the cocktail cabinet.
Harold Pinter
Sometimes you feel you have the truth of a moment in your hand, then it slips through your fingers and is lost.
Harold Pinter
