More quotes by William Golding
The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.
William Golding
One's intelligence may march about and about a problem, but the solution does not come gradually into view. One moment it is not. The next it is there.
William Golding
The thing is - fear can't hurt you any more than a dream.
William Golding
There's a kinship among men who have sat by a dying fire and measured the worth of their life by it.
William Golding
I mean, if we're concerned genuinely with writing, I think we probably get on with our work.

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
Percival was mouse-coloured and had not been very attractive even to his mother.
William Golding
Kill the pig! Cut his throat! Kill the pig! Bash him in!
William Golding
His mind was crowded with memories memories of the knowledge that had come to them when they closed in on the struggling pig, knowledge that they had outwitted a living thing, imposed their will upon it, taken away its life like a long satisfying drink.
William Golding
He found himself understanding the wearisomeness of this life,where every path was an improvisation and a considerable part of one's waking life was spent watching one's feet.
William Golding
For a small island [Great Britain], the place is remarkably diverse.
William Golding
How can you expect to be rescued if you don’t put first things first and act proper?
William Golding
The greatest ideas are the simplest.
William Golding
They looked at each other, baffled, in love and hate.
William Golding
Art is partly communication, but only partly. The rest is discovery.
William Golding
Heaven lies around us in our infancy.
