More quotes by William Golding
I do think that art that doesn't communicate is useless.
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
I am astonished at the ease with which uninformed persons come to a settled, a passionate opinion when they have no grounds for judgment.
William Golding
They accepted the pleasures of morning, the bright sun, the whelming sea and sweet air, as a time when play was good and life so full that hope was not necessary and therefore forgotten.
William Golding
Simon became inarticulate in his effort to express mankind's essential illness.
William Golding
It wasn't until I was 37 that I grasped the great truth that you've got to write your own books and nobody else's, and then everything followed from there.
William Golding
I know there isn't no beast—not with claws and all that, I mean—but I know there isn't no fear, either. Piggy paused. Unless— Ralph moved restlessly. Unless what? Unless we get frightened of people.
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
I believe man suffers from an appalling ignorance of his own nature. I produce my own view in the belief that it may be something like the truth.
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
We're not savages. We're English.
William Golding
You'll get back to where you came from.
William Golding
Maybe there is a beast… maybe it's only us.
William Golding
I am here and here is nowhere in particular.
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 mask was a thing on it's own, behind which Jack hid, liberated from shame and self-conciousness.
William Golding
Serve you right if something did get you, you useless lot of cry-babies!
William Golding
He lost himself in a maze of thoughts that were rendered vague by his lack of words to express them. Frowning, he tried again.
William Golding
This is our island. It's a good island. Until the grownups come to fetch us we'll have fun.
William Golding
There is, they say, no fool like an old fool.
William Golding
