Language in art remains a highly ambiguous transaction, a quicksand, a trampoline, a frozen pool which might give way under you ... at any time.

More quotes by Harold Pinter
I was brought up in the War. I was an adolescent in the Second World War. And I did witness in London a great deal of the Blitz.
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 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
The crimes of the U.S. throughout the world have been systematic, constant, clinical, remorseless, and fully documented but nobody talks about them.
Harold Pinter
Isn't it true that every aristocrat wants to die?
Harold Pinter
I think that NATO is itself a war criminal.
Harold Pinter
I know the place. It is true. Everything we do Corrects the space Between death and me And you.
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
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
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
Don't forget the earth's about five thousand million years old, at least. Who can afford to live in the past?
Harold Pinter
I hate brandy...it stinks of modern literature.
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
While The United States is the most powerful nation the world has ever seen, it is also the most detested nation that the world has ever known.
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
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 believe the US is a truly monstrous force in the world, now off the leash for obvious reasons.
Harold Pinter
I also found being called Sir rather silly.
Harold Pinter
Beckett had an unerring light on things, which I much appreciated.
