Quote

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.

I also found being called Sir rather silly.

One way of looking at speech is to say it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness.

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.

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.

I know little of women. But I've heard dread tales.
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.

Rationality went down the drain donkey's years ago and hasn't been seen since.
Harold Pinter
Image
I never think of myself as wise. I think of myself as possessing a critical intelligence which I intend to allow to operate.

I hate brandy...it stinks of modern literature.
Harold Pinter
Image
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
Image
I mean, if a thing works, if a thing is right, respect that, acknowledge it, respect it and hold to it.

I tend to think that cricket is the greatest thing that God ever created on earth - certainly greater than sex, although sex isn't too bad either.
