“understood how much he disliked perpetually…
flicking the tangled hair out of his eyes” (Ralph)
“Ralph sat he faced the island…
but to the boys was a darkish figure against the shimmer of the lagoon”
“Only, decided Ralph as he faced the chief’s seat…
I can’t think. Not like Piggy”
“But Piggy…
for all of his ludicrous body, had brains”
“We decide things…
but they don’t get done” (Ralph)
“Jack started to chip…
a piece of wood with his knife”
“But I tell you the smoke…
is more important than the pig, however often you kill one” (Ralph)
“you’re a lot of cry-babies…
and sissies (Jack)
“Unless we get frightened…
of people” (Piggy)
“I wanted- to go to a place…
a place I know (Simon)
“Ralph remembered another small boy…
who had stood like this and flinched at the memory”
“no one had seen the…
mulberry-coloured birthmark again”
“That’s a clever beast…
if it can hide on this island” (Piggy)
“to Ralph, seated…
this seemed the breaking up of sanity”
“fear, beasts, no general agreement that the fire was all-important….
and when one tried to get the thing straight the argument sheered off, bringing up fresh, unpleasant matter”
