Born on this date in 1911:
Sir William Golding, novelist, poet and Nobel Prize for Literature
laureate best known for his novel Lord of the Flies.
- My yesterdays walk with me. They keep step, they are grey faces that peer over my shoulder.
- What a man does defiles him, not what is done by others.
- I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men; they are far superior and always have been.
- Childhood is a disease - a sickness that you grow out of.
- We have a disharmony in our natures. We cannot live together without injuring each other.
- I am astonished at the ease with which uninformed persons come to a settled, a passionate opinion when they have no grounds for judgement.
- I am by nature an optimist and by intellectual conviction a pessimist.
- The greatest ideas are the simplest.
- However you disguise novels, they are always biographies.
- The thing is - fear can't hurt you any more than a dream.
