Apart from the known and the unknown, what else is there?

Nothing is more sterile or lamentable than the man content to live within himself.

There are places in my heart...where no living soul...has...or can ever...trespass.

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.

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.

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 never think of myself as wise. I think of myself as possessing a critical intelligence which I intend to allow to operate.
