William Golding
Before the Second World War, I believed in the perfectability of social man; that a correct structure of society produced goodwill; and that, therefore, you could remove all social ills by a reorganisation of society. It is possible that I believe something of the same again; but after the war, I did not because I was unable to.

Forgive yourself for your faults...Freedom is the open window through which pours...Of all the hard jobs around, one of the hardest...The fact that man knows right...The common idea that success spoils people...Most of us regard good luck as our right...
