Mr. Pinter is not only one of the great literary figures, but a man of immense compassion and a great social and political critic. One has to pity the idiots who are afraid of Mr. Pinter, afraid of his ideas, his integrity.

Every person of truth turns an upsidedown world a little more upright.If only the news stations of the world would show us one of these every evening...this world would be turned upright before it shrugs us off its back.

yeah, the hypocrisy is in the forgetting your own actions when you're judging others.

What makes one a hypocrite is to yell at the crimes of a superpower while forgetting that his own country has destroyed and pillaged half of the planet from the 1600s until the second world war

For a better sound quality, go to the Nobel Laureates web page. A clear copy of this can be found there.

I wonder at the comments below that, based on this speech, brand Pinter as 'weird' & 'eccentric'.What sort of society, perceives intelligent, articulate eloquence as something to ridicule? Is this the very society that Pinter refers to in his speech? The society of hypocritical 'do what I say, not what I do', unthinking, unquestioning, uneducated, unconscionable insular imperialist terrorists.

okay, for a 9 year old I have no Idea what you just said lol, but I was wondering if you now so much then how old are you?!

Well for a 9 year old that is impressive. however, it doesn't devalue what I was saying does it. I've read lots of his plays and he is a theatrical legend. Unfortunately (or not, I'm not sure) theatrical legends in Britain tend to be a little eccentric!l ol

whatever and I have read books more like 500 so I dont think you should be talkin

I don't like Osama. I don't understand what u mean by this. If you read Pinter's speech carefully, you'll note that it is precisely with this notion of being a "US citizen" that your government is justifying its endless crimes to humanity. COME ON NOW! Wake up!Yes I do believe Pinter probably does HATE Bush. That does not make him a hypocrite...
