5) Golding: "There was the brilliant world of hunting, tactics, fierce exhilaration, skill, and there was the world of longing and baffled common-sense."

6) Golding: "However Simon thought of the beast, there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick."

8) The Lord of the Flies: "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?"

9) Golding: "A stick sharpened at both ends."
