More quotes by William Golding
We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English, and the English are best at everything.
William Golding
An orotundity, which I define as Nobelitis a pomposity in which one is treated as representative of more than oneself by someone conscious of representing more than himself.
William Golding
People don't help much.
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
Language fits over experience like a straight-jacket.
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
At the moment of vision, the eyes see nothing.
William Golding
What a man does defiles him, not what is done by others.
William Golding
Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood.
William Golding
Art is partly communication, but only partly. The rest is discovery.
William Golding
Life should serve up its feast of experience in a series of courses.
William Golding
A crowd of grade-three thinkers, all shouting the same thing, all warming their hands at the fire of their own prejudices, will not thank you for pointing out the contradictions in their beliefs. Man is a gregarious animal, and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way on the side of a hill.
William Golding
The thing is - fear can't hurt you any more than a dream.
William Golding
I hope my books make statements about our general condition.
William Golding
Which is better--to have laws and agree, or to hunt and kill?
William Golding

William Golding
Maybe, he said hesitantly, maybe there is a beast. The assembly cried out savagely and Ralph stood up in amazement. You, Simon? You believe in this? I don't know, said Simon. His heartbeats were choking him. [...] Ralph shouted. Hear him! He's got the conch! What I mean is . . . maybe it's only us. Nuts! That was from Piggy, shocked out of decorum.
William Golding
Then you have people coming up like Malcolm Bradbury, a relatively young writer who deals with the academic scene and deals with it, I think, brilliantly.
William Golding
We're all mad, the whole damned race. We're wrapped in illusions, delusions, confusions about the penetrability of partitions, we're all mad and in solitary confinement.
William Golding
I am here and here is nowhere in particular.
