More quotes by 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
The beast was harmless and horrible and the news must reach the others as soon as possible.
William Golding
The skull regarded Ralph like one who knows all the answers and won't tell.
William Golding
Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind.
William Golding
The water rose further and dressed Simon's coarse hair with brightness. The line of his cheek silvered and the turn of his shoulder became sculptured marble.
William Golding
Maybe there is a beast… maybe it's only us.
William Golding
I really feel the novel has certain conveniences about it and has something so fundamental about it you could almost say that as long as there is paper, there is going to be the novel.
William Golding
Life's scientific, but we don't know, do we? Not certainly, I mean.

William Golding
The man who tells the tale if he has a tale worth telling will know exactly what he is about and this business of the artist as a sort of starry-eyed inspired creature, dancing along, with his feet two or three feet above the surface of the earth, not really knowing what sort of prints he's leaving behind him, is nothing like the truth.
William Golding
It may be -- I hope it is -- redemption to guess and perhaps perceive that the universe, the hell which we see for all its beauty, vastness, majesty, is only part of a whole which is quite unimaginable.
William Golding
I am here and here is nowhere in particular.
William Golding
What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages?
William Golding
Nothing is so impenetrable as laughter in a language you don't understand.
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
Serve you right if something did get you, you useless lot of cry-babies!
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
