More quotes by Harold Pinter
No matter how you look at it, all the emotions connected with love are not really immortal like all other passions in life, they are bound to fade at some point. The trick is to convert love into some lasting friendship that overcomes the fading passion.
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 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

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
Occasionally it does hit me, the words on a page. And I still love doing that, as I have for the last 60 years.
Harold Pinter
The weasel under the cocktail cabinet.
Harold Pinter
Don't forget the earth's about five thousand million years old, at least. Who can afford to live in the past?
Harold Pinter
Most of the press is in league with government, or with the status quo.
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
Rationality went down the drain donkey's years ago and hasn't been seen since.
Harold Pinter
All that happens is that the destruction of human beings - unless they're Americans - is called collateral damage.
Harold Pinter
Good writing excites me, and makes life worth living.
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.
