Harold Pinter
Beckett had an unerring light on things, which I much appreciated.

Harold Pinter

Harold Pinter
Nothing is more sterile or lamentable than the man content to live within himself.
Harold Pinter
Most of the press is in league with government, or with the status quo.
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
Good writing excites me, and makes life worth living.
Harold Pinter
I also found being called Sir rather silly.
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
