Lord of the Flies

"The rules!"

"What I mean is... maybe it's us."

"Nobody knows we're here. Your dad doesn't know. Nobody knows."

"I am the Lord of the Flies."

"Samneric are not to be trusted."

"He'll beat Wilfred now for sure."

"This is a hunter's job."

"We could stay here till we died."

"The Conch is a symbol of our rules and our civilization."

"We'll have to do without the conch."

"His specs – use them as burning glasses!"

"You're a beast and a swine and a bloody, horrid, beastie!"

"We've got to talk about this calmly."

"I got the conch. I have the right to speak."

"We can't have everybody talking at once. We'll have to have 'Hands up' like at school."

"Maybe the beast is part of us?"

"Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill!"

"What's the use of my hunting if I don't kill?"

"There isn't anyone to help you. Only me. And I'm the Beast."

"He's a proper Chief, is Ralph. He knows how to treat people."

"Piggy! Piggy!"

"We are English; and the English are best at everything."

"Bollocks to the rules!"

"The rules are the only thing we've got."

"Conch! Conch! We will have rules."

"Life is scientific, that's what it is. In a year or two when the war's over they'll fetch us."

"The fire's the most important thing. Without the fire, we can't be rescued."

"Maybe there is a beast."

"The rules! You're breaking the rules!"

"I'll be chief."
