More quotes by William Golding
Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man's heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy.
William Golding
The novel is very much alive, indeed. In Toronto at the Sixth Annual International Festival of Authors (October 1985) I listened to novelists by the dozen.
William Golding
We're not savages. We're English.
William Golding
We have a disharmony in our natures. We cannot live together without injuring each other.
William Golding
As far as the novel is concerned in my own country, I think it's in a pretty healthy state.
William Golding
Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill! You knew, didn’t you? I’m part of you? Close, close, close! I’m the reason why it’s no go? Why things are what they are?
William Golding
However you disguise novels, they are always biographies.
William Golding
And I've been wearing specs since I was three.
William Golding
Graham Greene at 82 years old was still writing, and I don't think anyone can deny the force, the expertise, and the unique quality of his writing, if you take his complete oeuvre.
William Golding
They looked at each other, baffled, in love and hate.
William Golding
The skull regarded Ralph like one who knows all the answers and won't tell.
William Golding
The thing is - fear can't hurt you any more than a dream.
William Golding
I believe man suffers from an appalling ignorance of his own nature. I produce my own view in the belief that it may be something like the truth.
William Golding
The greatest ideas are the simplest.
William Golding
I will tell you what man is. He is a freak, an ejected foetus robbed of his natural development, thrown out into the world with a naked covering of parchment, with too little room for his teeth and a soft bulging skull like a bubble. But nature stirs a pudding there.
William Golding
The Navy's a very gentlemanly business. You fire at the horizon to sink a ship and then you pull people out of the water and say, 'Frightfully sorry, old chap.'
William Golding
I began to write when I was seven, and I have been writing off and on ever since. It is still off and on. You can say that when I am on, when I know I have a book which I am going to write, then I write two thousand words a day. That's so many pages longhand.
William Golding
I suppose drama can either take the place of a novel or can be very closely allied with it. It's quite customary to turn a successful novel into a film or a television series because you can dramatize and pictorialize a novel.
William Golding
The beast was harmless and horrible and the news must reach the others as soon as possible.
William Golding
Life should serve up its feast of experience in a series of courses.
