“The greatest ideas are the simplest.”
“They walked along, two continents of experience and feeling unable to communicate.”
William Golding, Lord of the Flies, 1954
“What are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages?”
“The thing is – fear can’t hurt you any more than a dream.”
“They looked at each other, baffled, in love and hate.”
“Maybe there is a beast… maybe it’s only us.”
William Golding, Lord of the Flies, 1954
“Lying there in the darkness, he knew he was an outcast.”
“Daylight might have answered yes; but darkness and the horrors of death said no.”
“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.”
“The world, that understandable and lawful world, was slipping away.”
William Golding, Lord of the Flies, 1954
