Harold Pinter

Harold Pinter
Most of the press is in league with government, or with the status quo.
Harold Pinter
My second play, The Birthday Party, I wrote in 1958 - or 1957. It was totally destroyed by the critics of the day, who called it an absolute load of rubbish.
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
There are some things one remembers even though they may never have happened.
