Harold Pinter Quotes

There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal, nor between what is true and what is false. A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both true and false Picture Quote #1

When you lead a life of scholarship you can’t be bothered with the humorous realities, you know, tits, that kind of thing Picture Quote #1

I think we communicate only too well, in our silence, in what is unsaid, and that what takes place is a continual evasion, desperate rearguard attempts to keep ourselves to ourselves. Communication is too alarming. To enter into someone else’s life is too frightening. To disclose to others the poverty within us is too fearsome a possibility Picture Quote #1

The speech we hear is an indication of that which we don’t hear. It is a necessary avoidance, a violent, sly, and anguished or mocking smoke screen which keeps the other in its true place. When true silence falls we are left with echo but are nearer nakedness. One way of looking at speech is to say that it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness Picture Quote #1

It’s very difficult to feel contempt for others when you see yourself in the mirror Picture Quote #1

How can the unknown merit reverence? In other words how can you revere that of which you are ignorant? At the same time, it would be ridiculous to propose that what we know merits reverence. What we know merits any one of a number of things, but it stands to reason reverence isn’t one of them. In other words, apart from the known and the unknown, what else is there? Picture Quote #1

I mean, if a thing works, if a thing is right, respect that, acknowledge it, respect it and hold to it Picture Quote #1

No matter how you look at it, all the emotions connected with love are not really immortal; like all other passions in life, they are bound to fade at some point. The trick is to convert love into some lasting friendship that overcomes the fading passion Picture Quote #1

Don’t forget the earth’s about five thousand million years old, at least. Who can afford to live in the past? Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you feel you have the truth of a moment in your hand, then it slips through your fingers and is lost Picture Quote #1

I don’t give a damn what other people think. It’s entirely their own business. I’m not writing for other people Picture Quote #1

Language in art remains a highly ambiguous transaction, a quicksand, a trampoline, a frozen pool which might give way under you... at any time Picture Quote #1

Rationality went down the drain donkey’s years ago and hasn’t been seen since Picture Quote #1

I sometimes wish desperately that I could write like someone else, be someone else. No one particularly. Just if I could put the pen down on paper and suddenly come out in a totally different way Picture Quote #1

I would never use obscene language in the office. Certainly not. I kept my obscene language for the home, where it belongs Picture Quote #1
