More quotes by William Golding
While I am on, I can discipline myself to that extent. When I am off, I can't discipline myself at all. On the other hand, when I am off, there are so many things I like doing, it doesn't really matter.
William Golding

I mean our worship of the antique. I do not refer to beauty or even historical association. I refer to age, to a quantity of years.
William Golding
If faces were different when lit from above or below -- what was a face? What was anything?
William Golding
Art is partly communication, but only partly. The rest is discovery.
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
Couldn't a fire outrun a galloping horse?
William Golding
What a man does defiles him, not what is done by others.
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
There were no words, and no movements but the tearing of teeth and claws.
William Golding
What kind of human person has a favorite eraser?
William Golding
The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.
