More quotes by William Golding
If I blow the conch and they don't come back then we've had it. We shan't keep the fire going. We'll be like animals. We'll never be rescued. If you don't blow, we'll soon be animals anyway.
William Golding
I began to write when I was seven, and I have been writing off and on ever since. It is still off and on. You can say that when I am on, when I know I have a book which I am going to write, then I write two thousand words a day. That's so many pages longhand.

William Golding
People don't help much.
William Golding
Even if you got rid of paper, you would still have story-tellers. In fact, you had the story-tellers before you had the paper.
William Golding
I'm scared of him, said Piggy, and that's why I know him. If you're scared of someone you hate him but you can't stop thinking about him. You kid yourself he's all right really, an' then when you see him again it's like asthma an' you can't breathe.
William Golding
The beast was harmless and horrible and the news must reach the others as soon as possible.
William Golding
He who rides the sea of the Nile must have sails woven of patience.
William Golding
We're not savages. We're English.
William Golding
He found himself understanding the wearisomeness of this life,where every path was an improvisation and a considerable part of one's waking life was spent watching one's feet.
William Golding
Honestly, I haven't the time to read contemporary writers. I know this is awful, but in the main it is true.
William Golding
For a small island [Great Britain], the place is remarkably diverse.
