More quotes by William Golding
Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind.
William Golding
Put simply the novel stands between us and the hardening concept of statistical man. There is no other medium in which we can live for so long and so intimately with a character. That is the service a novel renders.
William Golding
One tries to tell a truth, and one hopes that the truth has a general application rather than just a specific one.
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
The rules! shouted Ralph, you're breaking the rules! Who cares?
William Golding
And I've been wearing specs since I was three.
William Golding
Childhood is a disease - a sickness that you grow out of.
William Golding
In India the odd thing is that English is this almost artificial language floating on the surface of a place with about fifty other languages. The same is true of Nigeria but even more so.
William Golding
We just got to go on, that's all. That's what grownups would do.
William Golding
How can you expect to be rescued if you don’t put first things first and act proper?
William Golding
He doesn't mind if he dies... indeed, he would like to die but yet he fears to fall. He would welcome a long sleep but not at the price of falling to it.
William Golding
Which is better -- to be a pack of painted Indians like you are, or to be sensible like Ralph is? Which is better -- to have rules and agree, or to hunt and kill? Which is better, law and rescue, or hunting and breaking things up?
William Golding
Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood.
William Golding
Marx, Darwin and Freud are the three most crashing bores of the Western World. Simplistic popularization of their ideas has thrust our world into a mental straitjacket from which we can only escape by the most anarchic violence.
William Golding
Serve you right if something did get you, you useless lot of cry-babies!
William Golding
What kind of human person has a favorite eraser?
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
I hope my books make statements about our general condition.
William Golding
I began to see what people were capable of doing. Anyone who moved through those years without understanding that man produces evil as a bee produces honey, must have been blind or wrong in the head.
William Golding
As far as the novel is concerned in my own country, I think it's in a pretty healthy state.
