Harold Pinter

I'm not a theorist. I'm a practitioner.

The older I get, the more I see the world as a joke.

Power is the only thing that matters.

I take the position of the artist: I don't give a damn about politics.

But the reality is that the bomb is there.

Life is a bit of a bugger, isn't it?

I always start from the particular and go to the general.

The family is the core of society.

Words are a mask, and the tongue behind it.

I have no enemies. I have no friends.

The theatre is a dangerous place.

Memory is a dead thing.

I don't intend to write poems anymore.

The bomb is the logical answer to the human condition.

Love is at the root of everything.

I am a political writer.

The last words I heard were 'Good night.'

Wit is the salt of conversation.
